My Project

My students are bright, curious, and full of potential, and would soar with access to hands-on STEM resources. I want to ignite their passion for coding and problem-solving! These Sphero Bolt+ robots will allow them to explore coding concepts in a fun, interactive way.

These Sphero BOLT+ robots will transform our STEM lessons, providing a hands-on, engaging way to explore coding, robotics, and physics.

Students will learn computational thinking skills by programming the robots to navigate mazes, create artwork through movement, and even simulate scientific concepts. This interactive learning will deepen their understanding and foster a love for STEM fields. Your generous donation will directly equip these young learners with essential 21st-century skills, igniting their potential and paving the way for future success in a technology-driven world.
