EmpowerSci: Fueling Curiosity and Success in 8th Grade Science

Help me give my students essential tools for success. The items in my cart are crucial for the growth of my 8th-grade science students, who are low-income and students of color. These resources ensure equitable access.

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Dear Supporters,

In the vibrant world of my 8th-grade science class, I have the privilege of teaching an incredible group of students at a predominantly low-income, diverse school.

My passion lies in nurturing their curiosity and potential. I've curated a wish list that includes essential materials like PH strips and a documentation camera with a projector to enhance our hands-on science labs.

These resources are not just tools; they're gateways to discovery. PH strips empower students to explore the acidic and alkaline realms, turning abstract concepts into tangible experiences. The documentation camera, when paired with a projector, transforms our classroom into a dynamic space where every experiment, observation, and discovery is magnified for collective learning.

My goal is simple yet profound: to provide my students, who hail from various backgrounds, with the tools they need to thrive in the world of science. Their uniqueness lies in their resilience, creativity, and a hunger for knowledge that defies societal expectations. They are special not only for who they are but for who they can become.

Your generous support will make a lasting impact on their educational journey. I am profoundly grateful for any assistance you can provide in making these resources accessible to my students. Together, we can inspire the next generation of scientists, thinkers, and leaders.

Thank you for believing in the potential of these bright minds.

Sincerely,

Eddilberto Campos-Garcia

8th Grade Science Teacher
