My Students

I teach science to eighth graders at a suburban school in Arizona. My students crave knowledge and experiences that make science come alive for them. They are bright, talented, and fun.

My students are taking physics and chemistry in eighth grade.

That's an amazing accomplishment and it's by choice that they are in the class. Their hunger for knowledge knows no bounds. These students are the scientists, mathematicians, engineers and computer geeks of tomorrow. They are ready to take on the world.

My Project

My students are homebound and spellbound. Like me, many are isolated due to health issues that make going out in public life-threatening due to COVID 19. But staying home does not mean they need to stay on the ground.

A telescope will allow my students to travel to planets and other heavenly bodies.

They will be able to see up-close the moon, Mars, Venus, and other bodies in the sky that previously they had only read about. This will be incredibly empowering to them.

My goal is to deliver it to them and allow them to explore whatever they want. They will share it with their colleagues. What a wonderful gift this will be.
