My Project

Imagine your middle school classroom buzzing with excitement and creativity as students team up to build, code, and problem-solve with LEGO Education kits. This is the vision we want to bring to a reality for our special needs students who struggle to work in pairs, to communicate, and to collaborate on any projects. They love hands-on work, but are not quite ready to collaborate and to code robots. These LEGO Creative sets are the ideal step to help them gain confidence in their abilities.

We want to help our students ignite a passion for creativity, and develop persistence and critical problem-solving skills.

These LEGO creative kits will help our students to work in pairs on projects, and hopefully they will not only collaborate effectively but also learn the value of teamwork and communication. These kits will provide a hands-on approach to learning that will engage them in a way that traditional methods cannot.

Your donation will make a profound impact on the educational journey of our students who are not quite ready to build and code robots, but will flourish at being able to follow the directions and build these fun and creative LEGO kits.

We wish to empower them to reach their full potential. Thank you for considering investing in the future of these students.
