Help me give my students battery packs so they can continue making cardboard robotics projects.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Zeitz's classroom raised $304
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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
My students are creative, curious, and passionate about building and solving real-world challenges. They love using robotics kits to design and engineer unique solutions, from creating robotic animals to coding interactive machines. Their excitement and determination shine brightest when they are hands-on, but our learning is often interrupted by the need to replace batteries, which limits the time we can spend exploring and innovating.
The rechargeable power packs and plugs from BirdBrain will make a huge difference in their learning experience.
These packs will allow us to power our robotics projects more efficiently and sustainably. By eliminating the constant need for disposable batteries, my students can focus on refining their designs and improving their coding skills. Additionally, having the plugs gives us flexibility to explore other power bank options in the future, encouraging critical thinking and resourcefulness.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
