Teacher: How many of you want to learn about robotics so that you can get scholarships, get a STEM job, and help your families out of poverty?
Students : All
Teacher: Who can afford to purchase their own kits?
Students: 1
The students in my class are a mixed range of students.
The class consists of students with and without disabilities. However, they all have one thing in common... they all live below the poverty line.
Some of my students experience no success in the classroom, but by goodness they can efficiently operate a robot and learn programming.
My Project
As a class, we are choosing to ask for 2 Lego robots and 2 Pad Air(s) to create an environment where the kids will learn how to program and use robots. After gaining this knowledge, my students can look at obtaining scholarships to colleges in the STEM field. By bettering the education opportunities of our students, we can help the community out of poverty.
Knowledge is power, STEM knowledge is money.
By helping our students compete globally, they will be able to return and support their community and future students in our small rural school. A turn to the importance of education will help end the cycle of poverty here and open the door to opportunity!
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
