Mobile Science Lab to Impact students in Zimbabwe

Well launch date has been set for Saturday 1st July at 9am!  Much excitement as we work towards this date and put all the final preparations in place for our pilot run of a 6 week Biology course with 15 'Guinea pig' students!  To say we are excited is an understatement.  This has been a dream we have longed to see come true and the day is nearly here.

So what will we be focusing on over the next month?

• Final revision of our lessons plans and notes - making sure they are fantastic - this has taken much more work that we originally thought!
• Final labeling of the Laboratory, hanging of hooks, pictures and equipment.  
• Final checks on health and safety.
• Recruiting our first group of students.
• Trial running a few lessons.
• Printing all our resources.
• Buying a few essential chemcials and supplies for the lab that we don't have.

We have attached a summary of the expected costs over the next few months.

We look forward to writing our next report and telling you how the students are enjoying this incredible learning opportunity.  An opportunity that for all of them will have only been a vague dream - to put their theoretical knowledge into practice!

Thank you to all our incredible volunteers (past Makomborero students) who have come in one day a week to write the curriculum with the help of teachers advising them, label and inventoring all the equipment. It has been humbling to see their dedication.  To be honest this project would not have been ready to launch without their hard work!  We value you guys!
