The moment my students saw the Bambu Lab AMS filament storage system, they gathered around it with wide eyes, excitedly discussing all the designs they've been eager to print. Many of them had never seen a professional storage system before, and their reactions ranged from \"Wow, this is so cool!\" to immediate brainstorming about what they wanted to create next.\r\n\r\nWe are already using the new resources during our design and STEM project blocks. One unforgettable moment was when a group of students loaded filament into the AMS for the first time and watched the printer run flawlessly with perfectly dry filament. They cheered when their first multi-color keychain prototype printed without any of the usual warping or moisture issues. For students who come from low-income households and often have limited access to technology, seeing their ideas come to life so cleanly was incredibly empowering.\r\n\r\nThis project has given them not just tools, but confidence. The AMS system ensures that every print—whether a small charm or a complex engineering model—comes out with professional quality. It means we spend less time troubleshooting and more time exploring creativity, engineering concepts, and design thinking. In a Title I school where 80% of our students receive free or reduced lunch, opportunities like this truly open doors.\r\n\r\nOur next steps are to guide students through designing their own STL files, teaching them how to prototype, revise, and finalize their models for clean 3-D printing. They're eager to move from simple designs to more advanced mechanical parts, and now they finally have the right equipment to support that growth.\r\n\r\nThank you for giving my students the tools they need to dream bigger, design boldly, and bring their creations to life.

Your support made it possible for us to purchase the LEGO Education SPIKE™ Essential Set, and I cannot overstate how much of a positive impact it's already having.\r\n\r\nThanks to your donation, our students have begun using the SPIKE Essential set to deeply explore engineering, design, and programming in ways that go far beyond textbook learning. They are using the intelligent hardware — including the 2‑port hub, small motors, light matrix, and color sensor — to build real, functioning mechanisms. With the SPIKE App's icon‑ and word-based block coding, they're able to bring their LEGO creations to life, experimenting with movement, feedback, and responsive behaviors. \r\n\r\nOne of the first classroom moments that really warmed my heart was watching students unbox the set. Their faces lit up as they sorted through 449 colorful elements, minifigures, and hardware. They immediately began brainstorming: \"What if we motorize this? Can we make this piece light up? What if the sensor detects color to make the robot react?\" The energy was electric. Their curiosity took over, and they dove straight in — building, coding, testing, and laughing together.\r\n\r\nThis has already translated into a powerful project for our Robo Knights FIRST team. Now, our students are prototyping parts of our 2026 competition robot using the SPIKE Essential system to learn how to build modules, test them, collect performance data, and then iterate designs based on what they learn. Through this process, they're not just building a robot — they're building their engineering mindset: critical thinking, collaboration, resilience, and creativity.\r\n\r\nBeyond the technical skills, this experience aligns deeply with the mission of FIRST Robotics and what we aim to achieve as mentors. We want students to learn how to design, manufacture, and refine real mechanisms. Over time, they can scale what they learn here into more advanced designs on our full‑scale competition robot.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, financial barriers to participation have been significantly reduced. Students who might have worried that robotics was \"too expensive\" are now fully engaged. They are part of a club where their ideas matter, where they can contribute hands-on, and where everyone has a role in creating, testing, and growing. This truly feels like a family — one built around curiosity, STEM, and innovation.\r\n\r\nYour support is not just about purchasing bricks and motors. You are investing in future engineers and problem-solvers. You are helping build confidence, collaborative spirit, and a love for learning.
