Help give our students this fairy tale ending:

Once upon a time in Southeast Los Angeles (SELA), a group of students attended a summer tech camp with a mission to learn about plant science and sustainability. They were excited to delve into the world of indoor gardening, composting, soil, and worms. They couldn't wait to get their hands dirty and learn about how to grow their own herbs and vegetables.

However, the SELA region was surrounded by industrial factories, and the ground was contaminated with lead. The students were disappointed to learn that they couldn't grow their own fresh produce in traditional soil-based gardens because of the potential health risks.

That's when the summer tech camp team had an idea - they would bring an indoor growing station to the program. This way, the students could learn about hydroponic gardening, which uses nutrient-rich water instead of soil, and grow their own fresh produce in a safer environment.

The team launched a crowdfunding campaign on Givebutter to raise money for the indoor growing station and the supplies needed to get the project up and running. They knew that with the help of the community, they could make a positive impact on the environment and the health of the SELA region.

Thanks to the generosity of donors, the crowdfunding campaign was a success, and the students were able to enjoy a summer of learning and growing in a safe and sustainable way. They learned about the importance of reducing waste by composting, the benefits of hydroponic gardening, and the impact they could make on their community by taking action to combat climate change.

The summer tech camp team was thrilled to see the positive impact that their project had on the students and the community. They couldn't have done it without the support of their donors, who helped make their vision a reality.
