Your support will go to help low-income, minority and military (army) students. I teach Technology / Vocational education. My students do everything from 3d modeling (CAD) to prototyping mag-lev cars to wood working. In my classroom they get a taste for a variety of career paths in the hope that they will discover a new passion for learning.
