Cool Science, Cool Leaders: STEM & Rewards with Ninja Slushi

Help me give my students a cool way to explore science, teamwork, and leadership through engaging experiments with the Ninja Slushi system.

My Project

Our young men in the 5000 Role Models of Excellence Program are learning to combine leadership, responsibility, and education. They come dressed in shirts and ties, ready to be mentored into future leaders. Many come from underserved communities where resources are limited. They deserve learning experiences that are both engaging and rewarding, tying in science, math, and life skills with positive reinforcement and fun.

We are requesting the Ninja Slushi machine with supplies to teach STEM concepts like measurements, ratios, freezing points, and states of matter.

Encourage teamwork through group experiments and flavor creations. Provide rewards and incentives for meeting academic, behavioral, and leadership goals.

Using the Ninja Slushi system, our students will learn basic chemistry by experimenting with ice, liquids, and flavoring.

Apply math skills to measure and mix ingredients. Practice problem-solving and collaboration to perfect recipes. Celebrate milestones with a special Slushi treat, reinforcing positive behavior and academic achievement.

This project combines hands-on science with character building, making STEM learning exciting and memorable.

Your donation will transform STEM lessons into fun, interactive experiments. Provide a unique way to celebrate the hard work and leadership of our boys.

Show students that learning can be both serious and enjoyable, preparing them to lead with creativity and confidence. Together, we can keep them plugged into learning and wired for greatness one Slushi at a time!
