Service Project Details:

Sajag NGO; Total Amount Raised-$0
Mission Statement:

My mission is to help underprivileged children in Maharashtra, so that they can be more educated about the field of science.

Goals: My goal through the program is to raise around $100 - $150 dollars. This would mainly include funding to buy more science experiments. These would include a robotics kit or other science experiments relating to the topics.
Objectives: The objective is to teach impoverished students, who may lack the knowledge base needed to succeed in school, some scientific concepts and get them excited about the field of STEM.
Strategies:
  • Educate students about STEM. My steps are to upload bi-weekly videos that teach students about science.
  • Help students in India improve their English. I hope that through my videos that students will be able to speak a little bit more English.
  • To inspire the students to solve real world problems. Another goal of the program is to motivate the students to solve some of the problems they face in their daily lives.
  • To motivate students to conduct hands-on science experiments. I hope that through this program the students will be excited to learn about science.
  • To help students succeed in school. An overarching goal is to provide a base for the students, so that they can do well in the government funded school.

    13. E-Waste: Dark Side of Digital Age >> These days, it's often cheaper and more convenient to buy a new PC than to upgrade an old one. But what happens to those old computers once they've been abandoned for newer models? The refuse from discarded electronics products, also known as e-waste, often ends up in landfills or incinerators instead of being recycled. And that means toxic substances like lead, cadmium and mercury that are commonly used in these products can contaminate the land, water and air.
