My Project

Hello, my name is Simisola and I teach eighth graders in a Title 1 school in Harlem. My students love to invent new things and think of different concepts and I am teaching my students how to learn through project-based learning, we are creating things that are meaningful to them and their community. My eighth-grade students want to build computers, design clothes and build cities with recyclable materials. I need your help to execute their vision by supplying them with materials and supplies. My students are creative that have never had the opportunity to create and learn about things they want to learn!
