My Students

Our Building Bobcats STEM Club is composed of elementary students from a rural school that would not have the opportunity to learn about science, technology, engineering, or math in a hands-on way with robots without this program. As a result of this club, the children are exposed to new careers that don't exist within our community. Some of the students have expressed an interest in becoming a scientist or engineer after becoming members and having hands-on experiences with the engineering process. Our club allows the children to explore opportunities in the engineering process and coding to prepare them for careers in STEM.

My Project

Our STEM Club is composed of elementary children at a rural school. STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and math. These students are rural students from a town with a high level of poverty, and would not have the opportunity for hands-on robotic engineering and programming without this program. Each year the students have a theme and build on that theme throughout the year. Our first year they created a habitat for a bee and a honey badger and learned about both while also learning about the environment and learning to code their robotic bee. This year we are exploring space as our theme and the students are creating a space station on the moon. They are using Lego bricks to build their space station and programming a working Lego robot. We need to be able to purchase supplies for the children to be able to maximize their learning potential. We are asking for funds to purchase containers to store our Lego bricks in to keep the Legos tidy during play.
