Cory Zigler

Zigler's "Project SET HOME (Scientific Enrichment Through Hands-On Manipulatives and Experiments)" presents various aspects of science to students by developing and organizing a functional science lab that stresses hands-on methods. Students are active participants in constructing a science lab, and are involved in every step of the process, from selecting and implementing materials to the actual setup up of the lab. The project encourages and motivates students to become active learners in classroom and in school-related activities such as the Science Fair and the Invention Fair. The lab is staffed and open before and after school so that students who need additional support have access to the help they need.
