• PCR Experience Research

  Funded Jan 10, 2025

  I would like to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for your generous contribution to my project through Donors Choose. Thanks to your support, we were able to acquire the materials necessary to teach students valuable biotechnology skills, particularly through the use of the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique. This hands-on experience has not only enriched their learning but also provided them with the tools to understand how biotechnology is applied to solve real-world problems.

  The opportunity to incorporate PCR into the curriculum has been a game-changer for my students. It has allowed them to experience firsthand how research is conducted, how to approach scientific inquiry, and why research is essential for solving global challenges. These skills are critical in today's world, and your donation has made it possible for my students to develop them in a real, meaningful way.

  At Central Dauphin East High School, we have never had access to advanced research equipment like this before. This has opened a door to new opportunities for my students to engage in scientific research that was previously out of reach. Because of your support, my students now have the chance to develop a deeper understanding of both the process and importance of scientific research, which will benefit them in their academic and professional futures.

  Thank you again to all of the donors for making this possible. Your commitment to supporting education has helped me provide my students with a richer, more engaging learning experience, and I am so grateful for your ongoing support. I look forward to continuing to create better learning opportunities for my students with your generous help.

  With sincere appreciation,”

• STEM Building

  Funded Nov 13, 2024

  With much thanks we are very thankful to have the materials we need to build cars and have competitions. Thank you for supporting my projects and my students. This year we received so many materials we can support students in the class and have many competitions. Thank you for providing the materials we need to be successful. As a teacher, it is challenging to get materials for large groups of students. This year I have more than enough to keep our projects going.

  Thank you for supporting our projects and providing opportunities to our students. The cars were created by 11-12 grade students and they were very excited to compete with each other. The creativity that the students presented to make their cars was amazing. We are extremely grateful and send our thanks to everyone who continues to support us in and outside of the classroom”

• The Science Laboratory

  Funded Dec 7, 2023

  Thank you for the laboratory materials. Students were very excited to learn about Forensics science. The students had the opportunity to explore different scenarios and cases during the lab practical. They were so excited to make the blood samples and test them. Creating the lab environment was very cool and students were engaged in the activity.

  The next steps would be to explore different diseases using gel electrophoresis. I will need agarose gel and samples that can be used to conduct a lab that is safe for High School students. The materials for the lab will allow students to expand their thinking and learn how to do research in a laboratory.

  Thank you for supporting my students!”
