My Project

As an educator, I witness firsthand the diverse challenges that my students face daily, including anxiety, stress, and social-emotional difficulties. These challenges can significantly impact their ability to learn and thrive in the school environment. With the increasing awareness of the importance of mental health in education, I am constantly seeking innovative ways to provide my students with the support they need.

Moxie, as an AI-powered companion, offers a unique and engaging approach to addressing these challenges.

By incorporating Moxie into our classroom, we could provide students with emotional support, social-emotional learning, building confidence, personalized interaction, and creating a positive classroom.

Unfortunately, due to budget limitations, our school is unable to acquire such advanced technology on our own. This is why I am reaching out to you, hoping that you might be able to help us bring Moxie into our classroom.

Your donation would make a profound impact, not only in addressing the mental health needs of my students but also shaping their future as compassionate and resilient individuals.
