• Brick Building meets Kibo

  Funded Feb 6, 2025

  I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for your generosity in helping bring KIBO robotics to our classroom. Thanks to your support, my students have been actively engaged in hands-on coding, problem-solving, and creativity in ways that inspire them daily. Seeing their excitement as they build, program, and watch their KIBO robots come to life has been truly rewarding.

  These experiences not only make computer science accessible but also foster collaboration, critical thinking, and perseverance—skills that will benefit them for years to come. Your kindness has made a real difference in our learning environment, and we are so grateful.

  Thank you for believing in our students and helping to spark their love for STEM!”

• Powering Up

  Funded Dec 2, 2024

  Thank you so much for the power banks for our Hummingbird Bits kits!The students absolutely love using them, and they've made such a difference in our projects. They work so much better than batteries, providing a more reliable power source, and they're incredibly easy to transport, making our robotics activities even more flexible. I can't wait to see what new projects they will create using them. Your generosity is truly appreciated, and we're excited to continue exploring and creating with them!”

• Pixel Delight

  Funded Dec 31, 2024

  My students absolutely love creating pixel images with the cubes! Watching their faces light up as they transform tiny cubes into vibrant, detailed designs is truly magical. These hands-on projects not only spark their creativity but also help them understand important concepts like pixels, binary numbers, and the foundations of digital imaging in a fun and engaging way. The cubes provide endless opportunities for teamwork, problem-solving, and artistic expression, allowing every student to feel a sense of accomplishment as they bring their ideas to life, pixel by pixel. Your support fuels this excitement and deepens their learning!”

• Computer Science Night

  Funded Nov 15, 2024

  Thank you for your incredible generosity! Thanks to your support, we hosted an event attended by over 150 people, where students engaged in hands-on STEM and computer science activities. They made binary bracelets, programmed robots, explored esports, tried being astronauts, became engineers, and so much more. One highlight was creating airplanes and aiming them at hoops—a favorite for many! Your donation made this inspiring event possible, fostering curiosity and excitement for learning in all who attended.”

• Pixel Fun!

  Funded Sep 18, 2024

  I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your generous donation to support our Pixel Project. The impact has been incredible! The students absolutely love creating designs with the pixel sets, and their excitement is contagious. Each day, they come up with new designs, eager to see their creations come to life in such a hands-on way.

  We were able to showcase the project at our open house, where it quickly became a hit. Families and students enjoyed interacting with it, and it sparked a lot of great conversations about creativity and technology. It's also become an amazing addition to our coding club activities, giving students a way to connect coding concepts with physical designs.

  I'm thrilled to have this resource to support our upcoming unit and to use it as an engaging feature for our Computer Science Night. This project is already making a difference in our students' understanding and enthusiasm for technology, and I can't wait to see where it leads us next.

  Thank you again for helping bring this project to life. Your support is making a lasting impact in our classroom and school community.”

• STEM Into The Year

  Funded Aug 14, 2024

  Thank you so much for donating all these supplies. There are so many activities that will happen from these materials. My students this year will be building houses based off of one of the books. They will program a robot to transport the house to a new location.

  The coding club will be making light up clothes. They will learn to sew led lights to different materials.

  The regatta I am hoping to use during computer science night to race Sphero boats.

  The books will be connected to numerous different lessons.

  Thank you for giving my students all of these amazing opportunities.”
