Because of your generous support, our classroom received Sphero robots and a wonderful collection of STEM picture books that out students are so excited to explore.\r\n\r\nThe Sphero mini robots have quickly become a favorite learning tool.

Even students who were hesitant about coding at first are now eager to create their own programs and challenges.\r\n\r\nThe STEM picture books have been just as impactful. They've opened the door to meaningful conversations about creativity, perseverance, and how science connects to everyday life. These stories help students see themselves as inventors, engineers, and problem-solvers, and they love having engaging books to inspire their learning.\r\n\r\nYour support has made it possible for my students to experience hands-on, joyful STEM learning.
