My Project

My students are eager, curious, and ready to dive into the world of hands-on learning. They are a vibrant group of middle schoolers who love solving problems, exploring STEM concepts, and working together as a team. However, they currently lack access to the kinds of resources that truly bring STEM learning to life. That's why I'm requesting LEGO Spike Prime kits—powerful tools for engaging students in the fundamentals of robotics, coding, and engineering.

LEGO Spike Prime kits are ideal for our classroom because they allow students to design, build, and program their own robots, giving them an authentic taste of real-world problem-solving.

By working with these kits, students will learn essential skills like critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration, all while having fun. These kits are not just toys; they're stepping stones that can lead students to greater confidence in STEM, opening doors to potential careers in technology and engineering.

My goal for this project is to cultivate a classroom environment where students feel inspired to create and innovate. I want them to see themselves as future engineers and problem-solvers, gaining the confidence that comes with successfully building and programming their own creations.

What makes my students special is their drive to learn and their ability to see challenges as opportunities. With your help, we can provide these amazing learners with the tools they need to reach new heights in their STEM journeys, brick by brick!
