My Project

Imagine a classroom where math and science come alive, where students aren't just solving equations, but programming robots to move, react, and respond based on real-world data. With TI-Nspire™ CX II calculators and TI-Innovator™ Rovers, my students will engage in hands-on, inquiry-based learning that deepens their understanding of algebra, geometry, coding, and physics.

These tools will allow my students to apply what they learn in class to real-world challenges, programming rovers to navigate obstacle courses, collect data, and solve problems that require critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity.

This project will not only build their STEM skills but also boost their confidence and motivation to pursue future careers in science, technology, engineering, and math.

By supporting this project, you're helping transform traditional learning into a dynamic and interactive experience, especially for students who may not otherwise have access to this kind of cutting-edge technology.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
