My Project

As a teacher passionate about inspiring young minds, I want to make STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) more accessible and exciting for my students. With Dash Robots, my classroom will become a place where creativity meets coding, allowing students to explore the world of robotics through play, problem-solving, and teamwork.

These interactive robots are perfect for beginners and experienced coders alike.

Students will learn the basics of programming using intuitive block-based coding while developing critical thinking, collaboration, and perseverance.

With your support, more students—especially those underrepresented in STEM—will have the chance to engage with technology in meaningful ways. This project will open doors to future careers, ignite curiosity, and help every student see themselves as a creator and innovator.

Thank you for helping bring coding to life in our classroom!
