Help get robots into the hands and minds of kids! I teach the Technology Applications classes for kindergarten through 5th grades in a low-income, high mobility school in Texas.

Our school was given four sets of Lego MindStorms robots. My goal is to make them accessible to as many students as possible over the course of the school year in the hopes that their interest will generate the desire for more knowledge, as well as further donations of robots! The more resources we have to increase interest, the better.

I've requested many titles of programming and idea books in the hope of reaching many students with many interests. If robotics can spark enthusiasm for a career in technology, everybody wins!

Your help will provide my students with resources they would otherwise never see. You can help take these kids from a low-income district and give them the opportunity to be successful in an activity they may never have the opportunity to try again. Thank you for your interest in my project!
