My Project

My AP Biology students are hard working students from underserved communities. They are passionate about learning and are enrolled in my AP Biology course. Each of them are a part of the "Pre Med Academy" and are interested in studying in the medical profession upon graduation.

Unfortunately, due to inadequate funding, we are in need of complex calculators so that students can solve complex problems typically found in the class.

This project will help ensure each student in my classroom will have access to the technology they need to be prepared for the AP Biology exam. Please help us in securing funds to provide calculators for my students!
