Robotics Room Request

Help me give my students seating and supplies for their robotics team projects.

FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Meeks's classroom raised $764

This project is fully funded

My Project

My co-coach and I love our students' curiosity and enthusiasm for learning. Their excitement for new concepts and technologies is so fun to watch. We are asking for stools that will provide comfortable seating, helping students focus during long sessions. We haven't had seating for our students for the past few years. We need laser pointers to identify sections of code up on the board.

The art supplies will be essential for designing and planning, allowing students to sketch ideas, develop plans, and create artistic elements of their robotics projects.

We aim to deepen students' understanding of robotics, enhance their problem-solving skills, and inspire interest in STEM fields.
