We need wrenches, Tetrix robotic parts and kits, game pads, electronic modules, adapters, and tires to build a robot for competition.

About My Students
My students are young, excited learners with diverse backgrounds. They are always eager to take on new challenges and explore. My students are high achievers, yet, from various different economic backgrounds. Our school is considered to be a school of need according to the number of students that qualify financially for free lunch programs.
Jace, our Robotics Club president, is our team captain for this project. Although most of the resources needed for the project are required material for the robotics competition that we are entering in, the design and execution will be led by him. He is an awesome leader. Jace has great leadership skills, he is great in math, and has a mind of an engineer.
My students will utilize and enhance their STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) skills during this project. They will explore real-world issues and solve authentic problems using digital tools and resources.
During the preparation period, the team will work as real engineers - they plan, build, program, and document the team's work. They attain solution-oriented, craft, organizational and social skills that they need before and during the tournament. Donations to my classroom would enable my students to use materials they would not have a chance to use in everyday life and see first-hand how they can grow with the technological world around them.
In Their Own Words
My goal is to be able to build a unique mobile robot that crushes the competition at our first robotic competition. It would be exciting for the entire school to see what our robotics's team could create and accomplish, especially since this will be our first year going to the competition.
As the leader of this project, I will make sure that our team works together as one, completes their part of the robot on time, and that we have the winning robot. In addition, I will make sure that everyone has team spirit so we can build the best robot.
This project is important to me because I want to show everyone that I can build a robot. I would like to be an engineer one day, so this will give me insight on what it takes to be an engineer. If this project is funded, it will provide our Robotics Club with the materials needed to build a robot so we can enter the robotic competition.
More than half of students from low‑income households
