Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

The materials and supplies I am requesting for my students are essential components of our fledgling aviation club. These items will help my scholars learn the flight skills they need to become FAA certified pilots, which is our ultimate goal.

The aviation club will offer valuable access to technology, aiding students in developing essential digital literacy and flight skills that are increasingly vital in our rapidly evolving world of aviation.

Please assist me with providing my scholars with much needed resources and instructional technology such as the Logitech G Pro Flight Yoke System and the Thrustmaster T Full Kit. Doing so will empower our students to embark on a transformative journey toward growth and achievement while gaining education and experience in the STEM fields of aviation and technology. My students have already shown an astonishing interest in aviation technology, and this project will only help enrich their preflight experiences.
