Our school typically only fields 2-3 students in any given computer science class we offer, and they are always the same 2-3 students. This project attracted over 40 students initially, which is almost 15% of our student body. The service learning trip is the “hook” I needed to interest many students in something they might not otherwise discover. 2.

Back in July of 2009, our team came up with a vision of transforming a small school bus into an interactive learning lab aimed at teaching young students about the environment and the world around them. Our SIFE students have spent months developing curriculum, purchasing the small bus and planning the program. We are now in the final stages of finishing the bus design and will begin teaching as of March 15. We plan to impact over 1,000 3rd and 4th grade students in California between March 15 and April 30. We are well established in our community because of 19 year legacy of students dedicated to service. This allows us to make the 1,000+ student mark a reality. 7.
