Stem Learning for Our Future Scientists

Help me give my students the opportunity to develop their STEM brain through experimenting with potential energy, kinetic energy, force and gravity by creating tangible projects using the Balloon Race Cars Kit. I purchased it myself last year

My Project

Dear Donors, my student population is deserving of an opportunity to learn what other community schools get to learn. They are low income students yet deserve the very best just like the rest! My scholars come to school to learn and to get ready for college because college is knowledge that will last forever.

These STEM projects will provide my scholars an opportunity to explore force, potential energy, kinetic energy, and gravity.

I purchased these products last year and realized that my students truly enjoyed hands on activities to create projects with their hands and brains. Won't you please help me to support our future leaders with an opportunity to expand their horizons in STEM?

My hope and goal is that I can inspire a future José Moreno Hernández (a Mexican-American engineer and former NASA astronaut) who arose from a family of field farm workers. Every child should have and deserve an opportunity to grow new dendrites and to make connections to future opportunities. Thank you once again for your philanthropy. Blessings!
