ABOUT THIS PROJECT
Greening Serere Township is an interdisciplinary, place-based STEM project developed by the teachers of Serere Township Secondary School and Annalise Klein of KIPP San Jose Collegiate.
This project was designed to give students the opportunity to apply scientific knowledge to solve real life problems. Serere Township is an agriculture community where soil erosion during the rainy season can cause destructive erosion and decimation of vegetation.
Through scientific research, collaboration, and hands-on experiences, the students of STSS are developing real, creative solutions to their community’s problem.
The goals of this project are as follows:
-
Faculty at STSS will develop a hands-on, local project that empowers students to apply science to real world problems.
-
Students at STSS will lead their community in controlling soil erosion.
-
Students at STSS will communicate their findings to the local and global community.
ACTION STATEMENT
Through scientific research, collaboration, and hands-on experiences, the students of STSS are developing real, creative solutions to their community’s problem.
