Your contribution is providing them with hands-on, engaging experiences that foster creativity, problem-solving, and a love for technology. Hands-on, interactive learning makes science, technology, engineering, and math more accessible and exciting, particularly for students who may not otherwise see themselves as \"STEM learners.\" Engaging young children—especially girls and students from diverse backgrounds—in coding and robotics early helps bridge the STEM opportunity gap and fosters inclusivity.\r\n\r\nMy favorite by-product of this learning is TEAMWORK. They're developing important social and communication skills as they work together to solve problems and achieve goals. Debugging code and troubleshooting robotic malfunctions teach children persistence and the ability to learn from mistakes, reinforcing a growth mindset. Seeing their excitement as they code and bring their ideas to life is truly inspiring.\r\n\r\nYour generosity is making a lasting impact on their education, and I am deeply grateful.
