Help me give my students the opportunity to build and develop their skills as young engineers.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. V.'s classroom raised $507
This project is fully funded
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
My students are some of the most creative and imaginative people I have ever met. They surprise me with the original ideas they come up with. They are always drawing new designs and testing their paper creations in class.
Imagine how amazing they could be if given the opportunity to use actual STEM materials.
My students need building kits, blocks, and STEM supplies to help them make their ideas come alive. They are our future engineers. I want to give them a head start on making our world a better place to live.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
