My Project

My engineering students are learning how to solve real world design problems using their creativity and simple materials to build prototypes. In order to achieve their design goals, they need basic school materials and things like popsicle sticks, hot glue, straws, and tape. I am constantly impressed with their ability to think outside the box and open my eyes to what is possible!

Your donations will allow the creative minds of these young engineers to blossom and grow.

Let's give these amazing students a jump on their path to becoming our future creators, builders, and problem solvers!
