My Project
Help my students become creative problem-solvers and confident collaborators! I'm seeking funding to purchase LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Essential Kits to bring hands-on STEM learning to life in our classroom. These kits will allow students to explore coding, engineering, and design thinking in an engaging, age-appropriate way that supports math and science skills through play and project-based learning.
As a passionate educator, I strive to bring engaging, hands-on learning experiences to my elementary students.
To help them explore science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) in an interactive and inspiring way, I am seeking funding to purchase LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Essential Kits for our classroom.
These kits combine coding, robotics, and creative problem-solving, empowering students to learn through play. With SPIKE Essential, my students will gain foundational skills in critical thinking, collaboration, and digital literacy—preparing them for a future where STEM is central to every career path.
Each kit supports small group work and includes curriculum-aligned activities that make complex concepts accessible and fun. Your donation will help make STEM come alive for young learners, many of whom do not have access to these kinds of learning tools outside the classroom.
