Empowering Tomorrow’s Innovators: A Tech-Powered Journey!
Help me give my students a tech-powered future! With Sphero Mini Activity Kits, our innovators will code, play games, and explore endless possibilities. Plus, we’ll bring their designs to life using a 3D Printer and filament spools.

Celebrating 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
Our students are ready to leap into the digital age, fueled by curiosity and creativity.
With your support, we’ll equip them with cutting-edge tools that ignite their passion for technology and STEM.
Here’s how each item will transform their learning:
1. Sphero Mini Activity Kits: These palm-sized robots are gateways to coding, problem-solving, and hands-on exploration. Our students will program Sphero Minis to navigate mazes, create art, and even dance! These kits will foster critical thinking, teamwork, and resilience.
2. Ender 3 3D Printer: Our students will design prototypes, invent gadgets, and bring their wildest ideas to life. The Ender 3 is a versatile 3D printer, allowing students to print intricate models, functional parts, and personalized gifts.
3. Filament Spool: The filament is the ink of 3D printing. With it, our students will craft mini sculptures and models. They’ll learn about material properties, design constraints, and sustainability.
Our mission is to ignite curiosity, foster creativity, and prepare our students for a tech-powered future. We aim to spark a lifelong love for STEM by immersing students in hands-on experiences, cultivate problem-solvers, and ensure every student, regardless of background, has equal access to cutting-edge tools.
Our students come from diverse backgrounds, each with a unique story to tell. Some are aspiring artists, while others dream of launching rockets to Mars. They’re future inventors, entrepreneurs, and community builders. Your donation isn’t just an investment in gadgets; it’s an investment in hope, curiosity, and the promise of a brighter tomorrow. Let’s empower these young minds to reach for the stars!
More than a third of students from low‑income households
