My Students

My students are committed to STEM and Career and Technical Education to the point of leaving their home HS campuses to come to our district Career and Technical Center daily. They take classes that offer industry-based certification and real-world, hands-on experiences.

Our students come from every school in our district and it is a joy to see them work together, especially when they may not have know each other at the beginning of the year.

Most plan to pursue engineering degrees and some will earn technical certifications or enter the workforce directly from high school, but all will be problem solvers.

My Project

I am requesting funds to attend a Robotics Academy focusing on an Arduino Robot (Parallax Shield-Bot). Our students need and deserve more access to technical skills.

The Robotics Academy Certified Training for the Arduino (Parallax Shield-Bot, Online) will up-my-game and know-how for programming and electronics.

I have a community of co-teachers who are able to focus on structural and mechanical components. I am able to provide ample experience from my experience in logistics, forecasting and project management. By completing this training and working with the students, I can be the programming and electronics mentor our team and classes need to succeed.
