Help me give my students the fun of Arduino! We have had such a great time learning with the Microbits but some scholars want to learn more and take it further!

My Project

As part of our curriculum, we are introducing students to the world of electronics and programming, and Arduino kits are an essential tool for helping students engage in hands-on learning.

Arduino platforms allow students to explore programming, problem-solving, and basic circuitry, all of which are critical skills in today's technology-driven world.

With the appropriate resources, our students will be able to create exciting projects, from simple sensors to more complex interactive designs, while building a strong foundation in STEM subjects.

In particular, we are requesting 6 Arduino kits for the classroom. Each kit would provide the necessary components for students to experiment and create their own prototypes. The kits typically include an Arduino board, sensors, LEDs, resistors, motors, and other key components.

If you are able to support us in any way it would greatly benefit our students. We are eager to provide them with the best possible educational experience, and your support would go a long way in achieving this goal.
