Project Proposal: Enhancing STEM Education Quality by

Providing Laboratory Equipment and Materials

Objectives
The objective of this proposal is to secure funding for acquiring essential laboratory
equipment and materials to enhance the learning experience of our STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Mathematics) students at the Sacred Heart Academy of Novaliches. The
investment in this equipment will significantly contribute to hands-on learning, fostering
practical skills, and promoting innovation among our students.

Purpose of the proposal:

● Provide students with access to state-of-the-art laboratory equipment for conducting
experiments and research.
● Enhance the quality of STEM education by enabling practical application of theoretical
concepts.
● Foster a culture of innovation, critical thinking, and problem-solving among students.

Equipment and Materials:

Equipment:
● Microscopes (Compound, Electron): ₱555,385
● Spectrophotometers: ₱444,308
● Centrifuges: ₱333,231
● pH Meters: ₱222,154
● Incubators: ₱277,692
● PCR Machines: ₱665,968
● Robotics Kits: ₱388,769
● 3D Printers: ₱499,476
Materials:
● Chemical reagents: ₱277,692
● Glassware: ₱221,989
● Dissection Kits: ₱166,492
● Circuit Components: ₱332,984
● Biological specimens: ₱110,994
● Raw materials for engineering projects (wood, metal, etc.): ₱388,481
Justification:
The acquisition of these resources will greatly enhance the learning experience for our students
by providing them with hands-on opportunities to apply theoretical knowledge. These tools are
essential for conducting experiments, exploring scientific principles, and developing innovative
solutions to real-world problems. Moreover, the availability of these resources aligns with Sacred
Heart Academy of Novaliches' commitment to providing a comprehensive STEM education. It will
improve the school’s reputation and attract more enrollees, which provide additional income for
our school. Not only does it improve the educational quality of the students, it also serves as an
investment.
Impact:
❖ Improved student engagement and retention in STEM fields.
❖ Enhanced skill development in laboratory techniques, critical thinking, and problem-
solving.
❖ Increased potential for student-led research projects and innovation.
Conclusion:
Investing in these laboratory equipment and materials is an investment in the future of our STEM
students. By providing them with the necessary tools, we empower them to become proficient in
their respective fields and contribute meaningfully to the scientific community. These equipment
will serve to be a great addition in the school’s advertisement pamphlets and improve the schools
reputation which will pull in more STEM students.

Requested Budget:
● Total Equipment Budget: ₱3,385,341
● Total Materials Budget: ₱1,499,539
● Total Requested Budget: ₱4,883,770

Corner Zabarte, Novaliches, Quezon City

Dear Mrs. Pupos,

We are writing this letter to convey our aspirations in accordance with the quality of STEM
(Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education at Sacred Heart Academy of
Novaliches. As students of the STEM strand at this reputable institution, we would like to share
our suggestions and innovative visions to improve upon the learning systems and teaching
methodologies being conducted here. experiences. Through thorough examination and personal
experiences, we have surmised that the school laboratory — with all due respect — is inadequate
when it comes to possessing materials that students can interact with during their learning
processes. We believe that the school and the students alike will benefit greatly from the
execution of this project as we have prepared well-researched propositions that we think will
contribute excellently to the capabilities of this organization. As prospective individuals, we have
a lot of faith in this project and we anticipate a resplendent result and a bright tomorrow where
STEM students at Sacred Heart Academy of Novaliches are presented with complete learning
equipment to help foster their knowledge and competencies with accuracy and efficiency. The
efficacy and fruitfulness of STEM education is at our highest interest since we strive for our
generation and the ones to come to be well-equipped and prepared to enter STEM-aligned
professions that can help change the world. The implementation of this project will bring us one
step closer to a better educational system and a more enhanced learning experience.

We are qualified, competent, and fit for this venture because we, as STEM students at Sacred
Heart Academy of Novaliches, experience the learning processes provided by the school first-
hand and are well-informed with what the appropriate necessities are to achieve quality STEM
education.

We kindly request funding support to fulfill this proposal and enable STEM students to have
eminent and satisfactory education through practical, hands-on learning experiences.

Thank you for considering this proposal.

Sincerely,
11 — STEM B Representatives from Sacred Heart Academy of Novaliches
