Drone Library

Help me give my students a library of drone books and mini drones to learn how to fly.

FULLY FUNDED! Coach Simpson's classroom raised $389

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The items that I am requesting will help to fill up the drone library that we can have in our classroom. Libraries with just regular paperback books are not seen as much anymore because of technology. I want my students to be able to have a book to read and look at even if we don't do anything on the computer. The goal for this project is to not only get a library full of drone books but also be able to maintain the library and the drones that will be in the library as well. My students are special because they have their recreational certificate to fly drones. This project will be an added resource for students in my classroom.

Coach Simpson Career Institute South Grades 9-12

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
