My Project

My school is a Title I school serving a vibrant yet underserved community, and we are striving to give our students every opportunity to thrive in a rapidly changing, technology-driven world. We believe that every child, regardless of their zip code or background, deserves access to high-quality STEM education. That’s why we are seeking your support to bring coding robots into our classroom.

Many of our students face economic challenges that limit their access to technology and enrichment opportunities outside of school.

With coding robots, we can open new doors, giving them hands-on experience with programming, critical thinking, and problem-solving. These tools will not only enrich our curriculum but also help close the digital divide that so often leaves low-income students behind.

Our goal is to purchase a set of age-appropriate, classroom-ready coding robots as well as accompanying lesson materials. These resources will be shared across grade levels and used year after year, ensuring maximum benefit for our entire school community.

Your support—whether it’s a small donation, a corporate match, or simply sharing our mission—can make a real, lasting difference. With your help, we can empower our students to see themselves not just as users of technology, but as future creators, engineers, and innovators.

Thank you for believing in the potential of every child.
