My Students

Our students enjoy learning concepts with a hands-on approach incorporating STEAM projects within a unit. STEAM materials will make this learning experience possible.

Our students come from a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds in a rural community.

Some students may come from a single parent family, be raised by grandparents or may come from a two parent family home. It is our hope that we can provide all students with a unique environment where they are able to be successful learners and can work towards finding their path in life.

My Project

The Dash and Dot robot is a great way for our students to learn through coding. Students can learn how to create and innovate using this new tool. Hands of all ages will have the opportunity to touch these Dash and Dot robots and be creative in a way they never have before.

You will be touching the lives and minds of so many students by supporting us in our endeavor to bring STEAM into the classroom!

Our students have gotten a basic experience in coding and STEAM activities and now we are ready to take it one step further. These Dash and Dot robots will be used before, during, and after school to touch as many lives as possible. Thank you for your generosity and support!
