This community college is purchasing equipment to conduct studies on water quality of a local lake as the major focus of an Environmental Biology course and as an integral part of the curriculum in other biology and chemistry courses at the institution. The goal of the project is to spark interest in science while teaching basic scientific knowledge and research skills. The lake was chosen as a research focus because of its declining condition, which is a concern for students and the community as a whole. Students are developing projects to be carried out with the requested equipment in: 1. water quality studies, 2. algae studies, 3. bacterial studies, 4. environmental growth studies. The equipment includes water testing kits and sampling equipment, a spectrophotometer, video microscope system, culturing equipment, and computing equipment with interface and sensors. The college will contribute an amount equal to the award.

这所社区学院正在购买设备来对当地湖泊的水质进行研究，作为环境生物学课程的主要重点，并作为该机构其他生物和化学课程课程的组成部分。 该项目的目标是在教授基本科学知识和研究技能的同时激发人们对科学的兴趣。 该湖之所以被选为研究重点，是因为它的状况不断恶化，这是学生和整个社区所关心的问题。 学生正在开发使用所需设备进行的项目：1. 水质研究，2. 藻类研究，3. 细菌研究，4. 环境生长研究。 这些设备包括水质检测套件和采样设备、分光光度计、视频显微镜系统、培养设备以及带有接口和传感器的计算设备。 学院将贡献与该奖项同等的金额。
