My Project

Our new STEAM Lab for 2025 - 2026 is already buzzing with excitement. We’re welcoming brand-new Dash robots to help students dive into coding, robotics, and creative problem-solving! To make the most of these amazing tools, we need your help equipping our lab with the essentials to protect and enhance the learning experience.

We’re requesting Hard Cases and Launch Tools for 6 Dash robots.

The Hard Travel Cases will keep our robots safe, secure, and easy to transport between learning stations. These cases will help our students handle equipment responsibly and ensure our robots stay in top shape for years to come.

We’re also asking for the Launch Tools, which are accessories and engaging activities that take coding and innovation to the next level. With these tools, students can complete hands-on challenges, and build teamwork and creativity through fun, meaningful exploration.

With these additions, our students will not only learn to code—they’ll become confident creators and problem-solvers, ready for the challenges of the future.
