My Project

We work in a Title I school, most of our students receive free lunch. They appreciate all that they are given and love to create and experiment with things to add to their learning. We are just starting our STEM program and each child will interact with these materials.

Our students are so curious and want to learn more about everything, the excel with hands-on experiments and love kits in which they can build.

They want to learn more about robotics and how robots work and how to program them.
