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 books for my students will help them see where we are and where we could be in the future!

Building a Robot can be a memorable experience that can spark student curiosity into STEM!

Using their hands and minds to work individually or in groups, I hope that students enjoy constructing and coding these robots. 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 for your support to provide these hands-on experiences!
