Students can now code, test, and iterate directly from the iPad, making the learning experience more intuitive and hands-on. These tools are helping students develop essential STEM skills—like computational thinking, engineering design, and teamwork—in a way that's both exciting and empowering.\r\n\r\nYour support has made it possible for my students to explore the world of robotics and coding with greater freedom and engagement. This project is not just about technology—it's about unlocking potential and inspiring the next generation of innovators.
