FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Nelson's classroom raised $240

My Project

Our students are curious, creative, and eager to explore the world of STEM. However, without access to engaging, hands-on materials, their opportunities for discovery are limited. By funding this project, you’ll help provide essential STEM supplies like circuit kits, coding robots, and engineering tools that turn our classroom into a hub of innovation. These resources will allow students to build, experiment, and problem-solve in ways that foster real-world skills and a lifelong love of learning.

With your support, we can bring science, technology, engineering, and math to life in ways textbooks simply can’t.

Whether it’s designing a bridge that can hold weight or programming a robot to follow commands, students will be challenged to think critically and collaborate. Your generosity will ensure every child—regardless of background—has access to the tools they need to thrive in the 21st century. Thank you for believing in the power of STEM education!
