STEM for Syrian Refugees
In 2017, called to address the education crisis among Syrian refugees, Shirin Haddadin, a certified science teacher and her husband Ayman Halaseh a professional engineer, living in Stoneham, MA travelled to the Zaatari Syrian refugee camp and host community in Jordan with essential science education supplies, to deliver 5 engaging, reproducible STEM workshops for teachers and students that reached over 1,500 children.
In the summer 2018, we aim to expand the project to build additional classroom and teaching capacity in both the Zaatari and Azraq camps in addition to host communities by supplying classrooms with essential science education equipments, conduct training workshops for science teachers and organizing a fun science and engineering activities to introduce children to the beauty of science.
To make this project a success, we need volunteers to help with translation of teacher and student guides from english to arabic, and your generous donations to this gofundme page https://www.gofundme.com/7pavza-a-science-day-for-syrian-refugees?member=51826
