Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I am writing to request funding for a MakerBot Sketch for our robotics class. Our students are passionate about robotics and are always eager to learn more. They have participated in various robotics competitions around the county.

The MakerBot Sketch is an essential tool that will make a significant difference in our students' learning.

With this 3D printer, our students will be able to design and create their own robot parts, which will enhance their understanding of robotics and bring their ideas to life. The MakerBot Sketch will also enable our students to work collaboratively on projects and to experiment with different designs, which will foster their creativity and problem-solving skills.

Our goals for this project are to provide our students with the necessary tools and resources to develop their skills and knowledge in robotics. We aim to inspire our students to pursue careers in STEAM and to prepare them for the challenges of the future. With the MakerBot Sketch, our students will be able to take their robotics projects to the next level and to produce high-quality, functional robots.

We appreciate any support you can provide for our robotics class. Thank you for considering our request for funding for a MakerBot Sketch.
