Help me give my students Lego Spike Prime Expansion sets. This will give the students learning robotics extra pieces, such as an additional motor and color sensor to give the team more options to solve challenges.

My Students
I teach STEM to students in Kindergarten through 6th grade at an elementary school in the North Phoenix suburbs. Parents at my school are supportive and eager to help. While my students have many skills, learning to take risks, fail, and try again is a challenge, especially the younger ones.
STEM is all about combining disciplines, they way we work in real life, and robotics brings engineering and computer science together.
My students will soon be using Lego Spike Prime, which will not only be more accessible, but more reliable for my learners.
My Project
For several years, I've been working to grow a FIRST Robotics program. Because of COVID, we did not have a team last year, and most students that had been on the team had promoted to middle school. That meant that this year we started with 16 brand new team members. Everyone is doing their very best to build and plan, but our aging Lego Mindstorms, and the coding platform that goes with it, are certainly holding them back.
By moving to the Prime platform, my students will have more access to current lessons and resources developed by Lego and FIRST.
The core set is great for classroom lessons, but the expansion pack will be essential for a competitive robotics team.
