Help me give my students at CESa great STEM-focused LEGO Club! Many families can't afford league fees for other clubs and this gives our kids the opportunity to participate in something fun here at school!

My Project
CES (Cedar Rapids, IA) is home to nearly 300 amazing students hailing from 8 different countries and speaking 12 different languages. Our students are some of the most resilient, kind, and imaginative kids you'll meet. We like them an awful lot!
LEGO Club provides a safe place for students to create, learn, and grow.
85% of our students qualify for free/reduced lunch status. Many of these students live well below the poverty line and experience higher levels of homelessness, food insecurity, family disruption, mental health struggles and other barriers to success. Opportunities for positive engagement are few and far between in our neighborhood with most being a "pay-to-play" model (registration, equipment, and travel costs) which puts them out of reach for most of our students. The alternative is the streets and intervention at the elementary level is key to curbing this issue in our community.
The idea behind LEGO Club? A level playing field where all students can create projects in small teams. Dedicated coaches guide students in planning, creating, and presenting their projects. Students learn to work together, problem solve, and use their wonderful imaginations in this FREE program. Your investment in our students creates a lasting impact for our whole community.
Nearly all 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
