My Project

Our Trailblazers, and we are looking to blaze new trails of learning at our little school. We are seeking funding for this project to help our students gain knowledge of 21st-century skills that they need for the future job market, as well as allow our students the opportunity to create our school's first-ever robotics program. We plan on calling our robotics program the Blazer Bots.

We need your help to make this dream become a reality.

The students love STEM and are excited each day to come to STEM on their STEM Day. These kits will create new excitement as they will be used in the STEM classroom weekly as well as in our afterschool robotics program. Students at Poole need this project funded to give them the opportunity to learn in new ways that our rural community is not exposed to very often. This project would provide our students this new way of learning Science and Math and give them the opportunity to explore new areas of growth and learning about the world around them.

By donating to this project, you will not only help increase student attention and engagement, but you will also help to further grow academic achievement and learning at our school.

Students will be given an opportunity to explore, create, engage, and explain learning in ways they are not exposed to at home or in their community. This would provide hands-on learning opportunities that focus on developing creative problem solvers who can face the world's future challenges. This technology will also increase student collaboration and mathematical skills as they explore new areas of learning opportunity. Please help give our students the opportunity to blaze new trails in learning by providing this technology.
