My Project

I am seeking funding to provide my students with an engaging, hands-on learning experience in space science and rocketry. Through interactive activities, students will explore planets, space stations, and rocket mechanics, deepening their understanding of space exploration while fostering a love for science.

I want to ignite student curiosity and enthusiasm for science through hands-on learning.

Provide materials that enhance engagement with real-world applications of space exploration.

Support STEM education by allowing students to build and experiment with rocket models.

Contributions will fund essential materials such as model rockets, space science kits, and visual learning tools. These resources will enable students to experiment, observe, and apply scientific principles in an exciting, tangible way.

By integrating hands-on activities into our curriculum, students will develop critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and a deeper appreciation for space exploration. This experience will inspire future scientists, engineers, and innovators.

With your support, my students will embark on an educational journey beyond the classroom—into the wonders of space. This project will spark their curiosity and help them see the possibilities that science offers.

Mrs. McAmis will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by June 6.
