My Project

My students are passionately preparing for an upcoming robotics competition. This project isn't just about robots; it's a fusion of technology and art, aiming to showcase our school spirit vividly and artistically. I seek your support in purchasing the supplies needed to create eye-catching, light-up signs that students will design and construct. These signs will be displayed at our robotics competitions as a beacon of our school's creativity, technical skills, and team spirit. Students will use graphic software to design their artwork. Their designs will be brought to life by laser cutting on suitable materials. Students will paint and assemble their signs, incorporating RGB/LED lights to create vibrant, illuminated displays.

This project will teach students valuable design, engineering, electronics, and teamwork skills.

It offers a hands-on learning experience that combines different STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) elements, fostering creativity and problem-solving skills.
