My Project

As our school’s new computer science teacher, I now have the privilege of bringing hands-on STEM learning to more than 300 students—quadrupling the number originally served by this project.

These students are full of curiosity and potential.

They light up when given real tools to solve real problems. With your support, they won’t just learn how drones fly—they’ll become innovators, designing drone-powered solutions, capturing aerial data, coding flight paths, and collaborating as young engineers.

The Ready, Set, Drone! program gives us everything we need: mini drones, safety gear, structured lessons, and the tools to launch bold ideas into the sky.

This project is no longer just for one classroom—it’s for an entire school community. Your donation now impacts hundreds of future coders, creators, and critical thinkers.
