Banner for The Inoculation Project series, with added caption "Solid science education is the best inoculation against ignorance."

This week, we’re helping two elementary schools: in Houston, a school library needs a set of beautifully-illustrated reference books, and in Pennsylvania, a fourth grade would love to do a huge dinosaur project. We hope that readers who support quality public school education will help by sharing or supporting our featured projects.

The Inoculation Project is an ongoing, volunteer effort to crowdfund science, math, and literacy projects for public schools in low-income neighborhoods. As always, our conduit is DonorsChoose, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation that facilitates tax-deductible donations to specific, vetted projects in public schools.
