STEM in low SES school

Donation protected


I am a Research Assistant in Molecular Neurobiology at the University of Newcastle. I have volunteered through the CSIRO in the STEM Professionals in Schools program and am partnered with Raymond Terrace Public School, which is low Socioeconomic Status.
I visit each week, do experiments and speak with the students of 5/6BW to encourage their curiosity and passion for science. I particularly try to focus on showing some of my personal female and indigenous STEM role models to the class to demonstrate accessibility of the STEM industry for female and indigenous students. This is a cause very close to my heart. 

Currently the resources at the school are limited and I have been purchasing equipment and materials out of my own pocket from a range of companies such as Australian Scientific, Bunnings and Woolworths/Coles. 

The money raised from this campaign will be used to purchase equipment/materials/chemicals for in class experiments and anything else I can think of that will benefit these kids in respect to their interest in STEM such as bus hire for excursions to museums, etc.
