My Project

Students will be participating in a competitive science fair to help them pursue their curiosity! We will be hosting the science fair in late May. This equipment would help make this opportunity accessible for our students so that price would not be a barrier.

We want all students who want to participate to have this opportunity.

Many students are very excited to participate, but some can be held back due to funds. In our daily school activities, students often ask questions about how things work and this is their chance to try and figure it out for themselves!
