This fall, the SPARKS Foundation will bring science experiments and education to students, no matter what teaching format their school adopts.
The foundation can easily arrange Zoom meetings between the instructors and students, but getting the materials to the students is more difficult. Single serve packages have been created so that students can follow along at school or at home. This individual packaging costs more than the usual packaging, so the foundation is seeking additional public support.
The SPARKS Foundation collects donations from individuals, companies, and foundations and turns them into hands-on science education for elementary school children. An easy way to support the foundation is with a Facebook fundraiser or through Amazon Smile. To donate through Amazon Smile, readers may visit http://www.smile.amazon.com and choose SPARKS Foundation Inc. Amazon will donate 0.5% of the price of eligible purchases to the foundation.
Most of the foundation's work is in Title 1 schools, which are schools with a large concentration of low-income students. Everything the student needs to complete the experiment is provided by the SPARKS Foundation, including a lab coat and safety goggles.
