Building a Class Set of Scientific Calculators

My Project

Our students are awesome and determined! They are a diverse group culturally, economically and academically in Santa Clara, CA. Not every student can afford their own calculator (or it's a financial burden) and our science department wants to give them the tools to succeed.

The donations for this project will ensure every student in my classroom has access to a working scientific calculator.

Chemistry can be math intensive and our students need scientific calculators. Since every student has the same calculator, they will be able to help each other with how to use/locate functions to solve problems (which is a task in itself!).
