Visual Biology in My Class

My students need access to computers in order to finish projects and lab reports. Most of my students do not have any computers at home and that results in handing work late or not at all.

My Students

Help a school with desperate needs to improve its STEM program. My school is located in Queens New York, the most culturally and ethnically diverse neighborhood in the world. The children in my classroom come from all over New York City and they carry with them a wealth of knowledge that contributes to a dynamic classroom .My students include AP, general education and special education students. In addition, many of them also come from economically disadvantaged homes, therefore, resources are often scarce.

My Project

Science is one of the STEM classes, where supplies are very limited . Visual science is an important aspect that does not get much attention since technological supplies are not provided.

Help one student at a time to see the amazing world of science on the screen .

Help my students grow their love for STEM and build the passion for the future scientists with HP Chromebooks.

As a lover of science (or a GEEK ), I want to install the same love of life science and humanity in my students by using Technology and giving them hope for the future.
