My Project

This KiwiCo Robot project is designed to introduce my students to the world of STEM with a concentration in engineering and robotics. My students come from underprivileged homes with 95% of them on free or reduced lunch. But don't think this will stop my students from achieving any goals they set ahead of themselves. My students are smart, funny and full of love for education. This project is one that will show my scholars different STEM careers and the interworkings of STEM, and opening up their minds to a world beyond what they may have never dreamed of.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
