My Project

I teach a classroom of intelligent, innovative autistic students. They may not be able to do higher-level math or read all that well, but their abilities with designing and building. Because of their difficulties with communication, they don't get to attend all of the same elective courses more typical students do, and that's a shame because my students excel in the areas that those classes provide instruction. I would like to bring those opportunities into my classroom.

Your donation would allow me to provide a various building and STEM and STEAM-based materials to the students who could benefit from them the most.

These materials will allow me to teach them circuitry and electronics as well as provide a larger variety of building materials to let them design and develop their skills. I want my students to become lifelong learners and develop skills that will help them in the workforce so they can have the same opportunities as everyone.
