With these funds I will be able to invite experts from the Houston Museum of Natural Science to come onto KIPP Liberation's campus and outreach program that has TEK specific activities. Students will have access to resources and participate in hands on lab activities and connect science to the outside world through stations. Some of the stations are "investigate a crime scene and understand the role of natural decomposers, explore the chemistry behind fireworks and the engineering behind everyday use products like diapers!" This would be a unique experience for our students to witness cool science aligned to their grand level! I truly believe that experiences such as these cultivate a love for learning which is really important for my students. Most of my students come from low socioeconomic backgrounds and their exposure to science is mostly restricted to what they get from school and if I have the ability to expose them to applicable science, I want to make sure they have those opportunities as much as possible. 

Here's the breakdown:

Cool Chemistry Presentation on stage = First presentation is $375 for 250 students and $150 for another assemble for 200 students.

Bugs on Wheels presentation= $425 for 6 presentations. Each presentation can have up to 30 participants for a total of 180 students.
