My Project

At MAS, we strive to provide our students with a comprehensive and engaging STEM education. Many of our students are from underserved Indigenous communities, and we aim to provide them with the tools and resources needed to excel in today’s rapidly evolving technological world. This project seeks funding to provide hands-on STEM materials and technologies for students to foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity.

Our students are eager to use these kits and resources to learn and participate in innovative STEM activities, including robotics, engineering challenges, and environmental science projects.

Currently, limited access to equipment and resources has been a barrier for most of our students to fully achieving their potential. Please consider donating and helping our kids.
