How do you break generational poverty? I believe we can transform lives by empowering students to think of themselves as the computer programmers and engineers of tomorrow and give them the 21st-century skills necessary to make that happen. Students acquire 21st-century skills as they pursue their dreams in our school's after-school STEM clubs. In my clubs, students are exposed to a variety of science and engineering concepts from atomic structures to zoology. Students learn coding, robotics, the engineering design process and the scientific method as they engage in a wide range of hands-on projects. I challenge my students to tackle real-world problems in their community and around the globe to create a more sustainable future. My students are working on a variety of passion projects such as a portable seawater desalinization device, wind turbines, solar cars, and water purification methods. All of this requires tools and materials. To date, I have been financing all their projects because my students come from families who cannot afford carbon fiber, solar panels, PVC pipe, and all the other materials they request. To expand the possibilities of student projects, I am developing a maker space at my school that will serve not only my STEM clubs but the entire school. This requires some big-ticket items including a 3D printer, a sewing machine capable of handling conductive thread, and a digital fabric printer. I hope to provide more Mindstorms and VEX robotics and expand my microprocessors from a single Arduino to a class set of Arduinos and Circuit Playgrounds and a Raspberry Pi. We definitely need a 3D printer to help students prototype their projects. Think of your contribution as an investment in the future of America.
