What's been made possible...
ART In SCIENCE display cases
Six display cases were purchased and installed in the STEM building to showcase drawings by the Art in Science students.
Biological Frog Illustrations during their frog dissection unit in Biology.
Senior CapSTONE PROJECTS
Senior Engineering students get to show off their knowledge and skills of the engineering design cycle by coming up with creative solutions to real world problems. Project proposals include sand battery as a sustainable heat source, small scale thrusters, performance tracking athletic shoes, and high powered hydraulic actuators! SMF contributes to allow students to build live prototypes and bring ideas to life.
collaborative furniture for common areas
Furniture for the halls/lobby of the STEM building allows students to work on group projects outside the class, to simply have a quiet place to work alone, or just take a break!
PReviously made Possible
STEM Marin Fund has also previously contributed…
• $30,000 from The William H. Donner Foundation for campus Makerspace
• $25,000 grant from the Joseph Drown Foundation provided Chrome-books, 3-D printer, tools and supplies for our campus Makerspace
• $5000+ provided students with kits & tech during remote learning months
• $3000 for a poster printer to display class projects
• $3000+ for teacher classroom supplies for the 2023-2024 school year
• $8000 donation from Jack Holme helped purchase equipment and
supplies for the upcoming Biotech Cell Culture Room, and additional,
more efficient 3D printers for the Engineering students.
What's NEXT?
FUND A NEED
We have been working on setting up a Cell Culture Facility in our STEM Science building for the past 3 years. We are so close to finishing! The final piece of equipment still needed is an inverted microscope.
Here's what this microscope will mean:
An inverted microscope enables growth and study of LIVE mammalian cells as opposed to studying fixed cells on a slide.
Students will use the cells with our 3D Bioprinters to create lab grown tissues and organoids.
Students will collaborate with scientists at the Buck Institute and Dominican University to study the effects of compounds on the growth of aging cells as part of a research project on cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.
Biotech students are articulated with Intro to Biotech at Solano Community College. This means our students will be able to perform all laboratory activities that the Intro to Biotech class covers and receive college credit with a passing grade on the final exam.
Please consider making a donation to help us get the Cell Culture facility up and running and for so much more!
