Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Our environment is always changing. How will the Earth respond to continual human and technological advances? I don't know either, but I hope that these robots and book resources for my students will help them see where we are and where we could be in the future!

The act of actually reading and building robots can be a very memorable experience that can spark student curiosity in STEM, especially engineering and technology!

Reading about robots and inventions can also spark innovation. When they apply their knowledge to build the robots and learn how to code them, that just takes learning to a whole new level! I wonder what they will think of as far as future applications for how engineering and technology can improve our lives and help our world?!

Thanks so very much your support to provide these hands-on STEM experiences!
