My Project

I love my students’ curiosity, creativity, resilience, and willingness to try new things. They are excited when learning is interactive and gives them opportunities to explore, create, and solve real problems. Hands-on STEM resources will make computer science more meaningful by allowing students to learn through active exploration rather than simply learning concepts from a screen or textbook.

These resources will create opportunities for my students to work together, think critically, test their ideas, learn from mistakes, and develop solutions to challenges.

As they engage in hands-on STEM activities, students will strengthen their problem-solving, communication, collaboration, and computational thinking skills while building confidence in their ability to succeed in technology and STEM.

Most importantly, these resources will help my students see themselves as creators and innovators. I want them to experience the excitement of discovering that they can build, experiment, troubleshoot, and find solutions. With support from donors, I can provide engaging learning experiences that inspire my students and help prepare them for future opportunities in STEM.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
