My Project

Our classroom is a hub of curiosity and discovery where students dive into STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) concepts through hands-on exploration. To prepare our learners for future challenges, we aim to provide them with cutting-edge tools and opportunities to experience real-world applications of science.

Imagine students testing water and soil quality with PH meters, TDS PPM meters, and digital soil testers, gaining insights into environmental science and sustainability.

These activities teach critical scientific principles and inspire environmental stewardship as they analyze local ecosystems and brainstorm solutions for challenges like pollution and soil erosion.

With the Glo-Germ Experiment Kit, students explore the unseen world of microorganisms and learn about hygiene and public health. The combination of gel and powder makes the lessons interactive and memorable, highlighting the importance of practices that prevent disease transmission.

The Temtop Air Quality Monitor brings environmental science to life by allowing students to assess indoor and outdoor air quality, measure carbon dioxide levels, and understand the impact of pollutants like PM2.5 and formaldehyde. These findings empower students to design healthier living environments, fostering their analytical and problem-solving skills.

Adding an element of excitement and innovation, the DJI drone introduces aerial data collection and engineering concepts. From capturing aerial photographs of school grounds to mapping local environmental changes, the drone integrates technology and creativity, inspiring students to think like engineers and technologists.

By engaging with these tools, our students will become skilled in scientific experimentation, data analysis, and innovative thinking. Your support in equipping our classroom with these essential resources will empower our students to solve real-world problems, ignite their passion for STEM, and inspire them to become tomorrow’s leaders in science and technology. Together, we can shape a brighter future for our learners!
