My Project

I love how creative my students are and how they approach each challenge with optimism! These students make each day in the classroom better than the next so I want to be able to provide rewards and motivation in the form of everyone's favorite building blocks.

Our students will use the Legos and Solar DIY projects to explore the creative side of learning science and technology.

These materials will be used in the classroom however students can take home projects depending on classroom needs. A large portion of our student base is considered at-risk, homeless, or have very low income. Your donation would directly benefit these students. Consider donating to help celebrate their hard work and successes in the classroom.

Mr. Tate Epic Charter Schools Grades 6-8

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
