The students I teach come from diverse cultural, linguistic, and economic backgrounds. We are a Title 1 school where the need is great, but opportunities available at more affluent schools are generally limited here. We teach our students to dream big, that they can go to college, and that STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) careers present a wonderful opportunity. But without the resources to entice, cultivate, nurture, and build those interests students lack a concrete connection or vision. Very few of my students have contact with someone in a STEM career, so this is the only experience they may have to connect with a STEM field like robotics. To them and many of their family members math and science are simply subjects to be suffered, but with the right technological tools they can become vocational passions that last a life time... if the right switch can be flipped at the right time before young students turn off to the possibility.
