Original Grant Overview
Goal
Students will be more aware of the contributions to science made by people from many backgrounds.
What will be done with my students
We will have an activity where students read about someone from an under represented group in science then create a video to share about that person. All guidelines for cleaning and sterilizing materials for use will be followed to prevent any spread of illness because of shared materials.
Benefits to my students
Students will be able to picture themselves in a STEM career. They will also use skills from their English Language Arts and Social Studies classes to better understand how science keeps moving forward with the contributions of many.
Budget Narrative
The entire budget will go toward all the books students will need to start their research.
