My Project

My students are an extraordinary group of young innovators who comprise two award-winning FIRST LEGO League robotics teams. They recently proved their dedication and talent on the world stage, taking home a historic 3rd place finish in an international competition!

In addition to this global achievement, these students have earned numerous 1st-place awards locally and regionally across all core categories: Innovation Project, Robot Design, and Core Values.

They are brilliant, diverse, and relentless problem-solvers who spend countless hours after school coding, building, and learning how to change the world through STEM.

Our teams are ready to tackle their next big challenge, but our technology is holding them back. We are requesting two 13-inch MacBook Neo Pro laptops—one dedicated to each of our competitive teams. Currently, students must share slow, outdated hardware that frequently crashes, lags, or fails to properly compile complex code.

The MacBook Neo Pro will provide the processing power, reliability, and battery life necessary to run advanced LEGO SPIKE Prime and programming software without bottlenecking their limited practice sessions. With a laptop dedicated to each team, students will no longer waste precious time waiting for software to load or files to transfer, allowing them to test and refine their autonomous robot runs seamlessly.

Your generous support will directly fuel the next generation of global scientists, engineers, and tech leaders. By equipping our award-winning teams with these MacBooks, you ensure they can compete equitably at the highest international levels. This technology will not only help them program high-performing robots, but it will also allow them to deeply research their innovation projects, practice data analysis, and build the collaborative skills needed for future STEM careers. Thank you for investing in these champion students!
