Urban STEM Robots

Help me give my students STEM robots for our engineering class.

My Project

STEM and engineering kits from industry leaders will equip students with the fundamental skills in engineering and math for a successful transition into the workforce or college. Robots will immerse my minority students in STEM - the thrill of engineering, building, programming and movement challenges. 85% of Black, Latino, and other students come from low-income households and enter classrooms without enough books, technology, and supplies. Our Equity Focus empowers our community to make a difference. Help my students experience robot building and programming, with a focus on the classroom, community, statewide and national 21st computer science skills by engaging with actual robots.
