Revving Up Our Robotics Club

Help me give my students robots support their passion for engineering and coding.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Grimes Jones's classroom raised $627

This project is fully funded

My Project

I have a team of scholars that are eager to work with robots, engineering, and coding in a robotics club. They love the hands-on opportunities to build robots and to explore construction principles. Our CyBucks club consists of 13 young ladies and gentlemen (in a Title One school) who WANT to stay after school and explore robotics in a team setting!

The exploration of robotics in an after school club environment will provide scholars with an opportunity to learn and grow in STEM and pursue an interest that helps with developing their identity and sense of self in middle school.

These scholars are ready to bond over their interest in robotics. I have eager scholars. I have supportive families. What I don't have is robots for scholars to interact with.

Hands-on exploration of science is the best way to learn. The robotics kits that I have selected will allow every scholar in the CyBucks club to explore design principles, circuits, engineering, and coding. Please support my students and their passion to experience hands-on science exploration.
