Drones Future Continued
Funded Jan 27, 2025On behalf of the students in our technical education classes we extend our sincere gratitude for your generous contribution towards the purchase of two drones for our exciting new drone project. Your support is instrumental in making this valuable learning experience a reality for our students.
This project will provide our students with a unique opportunity to delve into the fascinating world of STEM, specifically focusing on engineering design and aeronautics. They will gain hands-on experience in programming and piloting the drones, fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills. Beyond the technical aspects, the project will also introduce them to the principles of flight, aerodynamics, and the practical applications of drone technology in various fields.
Your contribution will directly impact the students' understanding of these complex concepts in a fun and engaging way. By working with the drones, they will develop a deeper appreciation for the engineering design process, from initial concept and prototyping to testing and refinement. This hands-on experience will solidify their understanding of STEM principles and inspire a passion for innovation and exploration.
We are incredibly grateful for your belief in our students and commitment to supporting their education. Your generosity will empower them to explore the exciting possibilities of drone technology and prepare them for future success in STEM-related fields.
Thank you for investing in their future and making this project possible.
We look forward to sharing the students' progress and accomplishments with you.”

Funded Jun 27, 2023Because of your generosity we were able to continue our drone program. Our goal is to teach workplace readiness skills (collaboration, professionalism, innovative thinking, problem solving and so on) and the engineering design process through project based learning experiences with aeronautics as the medium.
Your generosity allowed us to purchase the drone kits that allowed this humble goal to take flight. We were able to provide the students with learning experiences that allowed them to apply workplace readiness skills in a student centered approach as they designed drone simulations that mirrored professional careers that required drones.
They all benefited because of you and they now have a matured understanding of the importance of workplace readiness skills, the design process, and aeronautics.
Thank you!”

Robotics Program Growth and Continuity
Funded May 9, 2024Our goal is to establish a continious robotics program that competes each season. The over arching goals is to encourage students to become interested in STEM through project based learning, the engineering design process, and robotics.
Becuase of your generosity we were able to acquire the robotics kits necessary to continue our mission. Students in the career and techn education classes will be able to progress through the engineering design process by building, modifying and programming robots to achieve missions.
These skills are necessary in the workplace and are being honed in middle school. It is our hope to continue to inspire students to pursue careers in STEM with programs that you help to foster.
Thank you!”

Funded Nov 29, 2023We are constantly seeing to mature our understanding of STEM through other mediums: drones, robotics, and IoT. With your help and generosity we were able to obtain robotics kits that allowed us to continue our passion for STEM through robotics.
We were able to compete in last years robotics competitions and even through we did not fair as well as we would have like to we gained invaluable experience and matured our understanding of the engineering design process and programming. We are better STEM students for these experiences and look forward to this years competitions.
Thank you!”

Funded Aug 18, 2023We are using drones to understand how aeronautics is a vital part of our ecomony and how it will impact our society in the future.
They were and are very excited about the drones and the learning opportuntites these STEM resources offer. We will not only be able to simulate careers in drones and gain a better understanding of drone flight science but also be able to prepare for aerial drone competitions.
We are looking forward to establishging our school as a beacon for maturing students understanding of STEM through aeronautics.
We are forever grateful.”

Funded Jan 12, 2024The students are very grateful for your generosity of time to learn about our goal of growing and sustaining our robotics program. In addition, your financial sponsorship which allowed us to make one more year of robotics possible for an additional team of seven students. These student competed in our Regional FLL competition applying the skills they developed during the season: problem solving, critical thinking, collaboration and so on.
They were very excited to prepare for an compete , even through they did not move on from Regionals to the state's competition, as a rookie team, they were recognized for thier innovation project. They were granted the Innovation Project Award.
As an educator, I appreciate you helping me plant the seeds of STEM in these, hopefully, future STEM professionals.”

VEX IQ for Future Stem Professionals
Funded Aug 18, 2023We appreciate your generosity of time and resources. The time you took to understand our cause allowed you to see the vision of our robotics program. The resources you shared allowed us to maintain a robotics program that is in it's infancy. Your resources allowed us to add an additional team with 8 students to our team make up. We know we are just beginning to establish ourselves in the NOVA area. We hope that you look to continue to support our efforts to expand robotics in the middles school. The other objective is to establish and maintain a bridge between middle school and high school robotics. As I said before, with your support, you have made this goal less of a dream and more of a reality. I am appreciative.”

Funded Jun 16, 2023Your generous donations has allowed us to continue our fledgling SeaPerch program into a new season. We had many challenges that we learned from last season.
Last year we ran into controller soldering issues and it took longer for the majoring of the group to complete their ROV in time for the Regional Competition. We got an at large opportunity for the International but we never had a change to test our ROVs out in a large pool because we did not have access to one. This season we have access to one.
Your generosity has allowed us to bring on two additional teams. We will not only be ready for regionals this year, we are two teams bigger. What a great way to inspire the next generation of stem professionals through ROV systems while they mature their workplace readiness skills.
Again, we are extremely grateful for the opportunity to continue with ROVs and to nurture our passion for STEM.”

Help a Robotics Team Maintain Team Continuity
Funded Jun 16, 2023Your generous contributions allowed our school based FLL team to to take a bigger step in robotics outreach and turn the page on the FLL robotics program's growth. We started with 2 FLL teams. Your contributions have allowed us to add an additional FLL team. All three teams have begun preparing to compete in this year's FLL regional competition.
We all hope to make your proud by making it to state competition again this year. We have taken the steps to start earlier than last year and establish a strong mentorship with the local high school robotics program.
We are very honored to receive your generous gifts. You have no idea how much it means to us.”

Funded May 9, 2023You have no idea the impact these drones had on the approximately 300 students, last school year that attended my semester-long classes or the 30 students that participated in the after-school STEM initiatives. The students enjoyed the drone experiences so much that they pushed for developing a drone club. They would like to share their passion for droning through sharing best practices in drone safety and droning, having professional visits, providing engaging drone challenges, and standing up a competitive drone team.
Your generosity is priceless to us. Because of you, our goal of maturing STEM intelligence through droning is not just some far-fetched dream it is a reality.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”
