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 Students

Our school is in a rural minority community. Lots of our students have big dreams but don't have access to enough opportunities to unlock their true potential.

While our funds and resources are limited, our student's potential and drive are certainly not.

Students are eager to see real-world applications of what they are learning in school that extend beyond the town limits that have confined many of their parents. Many of our students strive to be first-generation college, if not high school graduates.

My Project

Our Gifted and Talented students recently got access to a makerspace cart and immediately many of our students were drawn to the Legos. I had thought of these as childhood toys that wouldn't get a lot of use. I couldn't have been more wrong.

Students loved taking their ideas and building them with Legos and some even incorporated circuits into their projects.

I can not keep up with the demand for Legos and our school doesn't see the immediate value of these powerful "toys." I would love to have more Legos to be able to provide more students (not just the GT students) with access to build their dreams!
