The Githage Mixed Day Secondary School in Kenya had one dedicated science room, but it lacked the infrastructure to perform practical experiments. This project funded a 12’ x 24’ extension to the existing classroom that permitted construction of a proper science lab. Then, TGUP’s Science Lab in a Box ™ was installed. This permits world-class laboratory work in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. 

This project was noteworthy for three things:

• It was a textbook case of identifying, qualifying, funding, and installing a TGUP Science Lab in a Box ™.

• It, did, however, require the build-out of an existing, but inadequate, facility, and the construction of a new equipment/supply room.

• It was funded by the collaboration of two Rotary Clubs:  Palo Alto Rotary Club; and Los Altos Rotary Club; both in California.

The first step to qualify for a SLaB is for the school to complete an Application.

After the SLaB Application has been approved by TGUP, the school’s science department completes a Quotable Bill of Materials. This lists their chosen equipment and supplies and is sent to at least two science vendors for quotes.

Thank you Palo Alto and Los Altos Rotaries!  The world is a better place because of you.
