My Project

I absolutely love how curious, creative, and determined my students are. As a Computer Science and STEM Lab teacher, I get to see firsthand how their eyes light up when they solve a problem, debug a line of code, or watch something they built come to life. They’re natural innovators—ready to design, build, and lead.

I serve students at a historically underfunded school, where nearly 86% of our scholars receive free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite financial challenges, my students show up every day with big dreams and bright ideas. What they often lack are the resources and tools to fully explore the world of STEM.

That’s why I’m requesting Makeblock mBot Ranger 3-in-1 Robotics Kits—versatile, hands-on tools that will allow my students to learn coding through Scratch and Arduino, build functional robots, and engage in real-world engineering projects. These kits offer 16 exciting STEM challenges and provide access to physical computing and mechanical design in a way that textbooks simply can't.

With your support, students will have the opportunity to collaborate, think critically, and gain confidence in computer science and robotics—skills that will open doors to future careers in tech, engineering, and innovation.

Thank you for helping me empower the next generation of changemakers through access, equity, and hands-on learning.
