Our Robotics Program in our school district has been a staple enrichment STEAM program for elementary and middle school students for 10 years now.  Since 2011, hundreds of girls and boys from ages 8-13 have participated in our programs, competed on FIRST Lego League teams, and have represented our town in various competitions and STEM events across Illinois. We have maintained this program due to various grants obtained over the years, district funding, and the generosity of parents. Since 2014, we have competed in FIRST Lego League and have allowed our diverse population of students at our schools to learn engineering, building, and programming.  Since then, we have been using the Lego EV3 Kits for competitions and school clubs.  Many of the robot controllers are starting to break down, and we have been on the lookout for new upgraded kits.  In 2020, a new robotics kit was introduced to the competition called Lego Education SPIKE Prime. After experimentation with this kit of updated robotics parts, we strongly believe this would continue to enhance the learning for our students participating in our programs.  Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, we could not hold the usual fundraisers that would help us purchase upgraded parts.  We would be especially grateful for any help to purchase a new Lego Education SPIKE Prime kit for our competitive robotics teams to use for the next years. We would then take our old EV3 robotics kits we have now and continue to use them in free STEAM courses for more students in our district to take and our schools to have in their resource libraries and maker spaces.  This way, more of our students in the district can get involved in robotics and programming.
