Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Help me give my students a radiant send-off into summer with a spectacular Glow Day celebration that integrates STEM learning with fun! We aim to transform our classroom into a glowing wonderland filled with neon colors, using black lights, neon decorations, and glow-in-the-dark games. This celebration is not just about fun; it's about enriching our STEM curriculum.

Your support will enable us to incorporate two cutting-edge STEM learning tools into our festivities: the Wonder Workshop Dash Robot and the Loona Smart Robot Pet Dog.

The Dash Robot will introduce students to coding through interactive challenges, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The Loona Robot, with its advanced voice command and gesture recognition, will engage students in interactive learning sessions that enhance their communication and technology skills.

These robots will make STEM concepts accessible and exciting, encouraging a love for science and technology among students. The glowing decorations and activities will ensure a fun and memorable celebration, while the robots will provide a unique educational experience that sparks curiosity and a lasting interest in STEM!!
