My Project

Our robotics students will use the VEX Hexbug kits to build and program robots, testing their designs through obstacle courses and collaborative challenges. Working in teams, they will develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills, while gaining confidence in applying STEM concepts. These kits make abstract ideas tangible, allowing students to see the real-world impact of their creativity and effort.

Our middle school students are curious, creative, and eager to tackle challenges.

They thrive in hands-on learning environments where they can experiment, solve problems, and learn from mistakes. We are requesting funding for VEX Hexbug Robotics Kits to give them opportunities to explore engineering, coding, and teamwork in an engaging, project-based way.

With these resources, we expect students to demonstrate growth in STEM knowledge, teamwork, and independent problem-solving. They will engage more deeply in learning, develop practical skills, and be inspired to pursue advanced STEM opportunities in the future. This funding will help us nurture their curiosity, creativity, and potential as innovators and lifelong learners.
