Because of your generosity, our students now have access to hands-on STEM tools that are transforming the way they learn, explore, and problem-solve.\r\n\r\nOur campus is a Title I school filled with bright, curious scholars who thrive when given opportunities to create and innovate. Through our Gifted & Talented (GT) Structures curriculum, students are already using Sphero robotic balls to design, test, and refine real-world solutions. They are programming robots to navigate mazes, model structural ideas inspired by nature, and work through authentic engineering challenges—turning abstract coding concepts into exciting, tangible experiences.\r\n\r\nThe impact of your donation extends beyond our GT program. These Spheros are being shared schoolwide, allowing students from kindergarten through fifth grade to explore coding fundamentals, collaborate with peers, and build critical-thinking skills. For many of our students, this is their first experience working with advanced STEM technology, and the excitement is contagious.\r\n\r\nThrough Sphero activities, students are developing problem-solving skills, creativity, perseverance, and teamwork while making meaningful connections between math, technology, and the physical world. Most importantly, they are beginning to see themselves as innovators and creators—not just consumers of technology.\r\n\r\nYour support has helped expand equitable STEM opportunities for our Title I community and inspired confidence in learners of all abilities. Because of you, our students are rolling into a future full of curiosity, creativity, and possibility.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our scholars and for helping us bring Sphero robotics to life.
