  • “Empowering STEAM Learning for Students with Autism”

    Funded Dec 29, 2024

    When I received the news over the winter break that this project was funded, I was beyond happy and excited! I couldn't wait to bring the Bee-Bots into my classroom and see the impact they would have on my students. From the very first moment they saw the Bee-Bots, the students were completely engaged—so much so that time seemed to fly by during our lessons.

    What has been truly amazing is how coding suddenly started to have meaning for them. They realized that programming is a fun, interactive way to learn and explore. Even though they have only learned how to use the forward button so far, they already feel accomplished and excited to do more. The joy and confidence they've gained from these small wins are incredible. Some students even started coming to the STEAM classroom outside of their scheduled time, just to check on the Bee-Bots and interact with them!

    This project has opened up a whole new world of learning for my students. The Bee-Bots have made coding accessible, exciting, and rewarding in a way that truly meets their needs. Thank you for your generosity—because of you, the students are developing a love for learning that will stay with them for years toy s come.”

  • Coding in Steam

    Funded Nov 6, 2024

    Thank You for Inspiring a Love for Coding in My Students!

    Your incredible generosity has transformed our classroom and opened up a world of possibilities for my students! With your support, we've incorporated Micro:bits into our lessons, and the impact has been nothing short of amazing.

    Learning Through Technology

    Technology is a part of our daily lives, but using it to create, solve problems, and think critically has been a revelation for my students. Thanks to the Micro:bits, they're not just consuming technology—they're coding, experimenting, and bringing their ideas to life. From building step counters to designing digital games, they've learned that coding isn't reserved for computer experts—it's for everyone!

    Excitement and Engagement in the Classroom

    The energy in our classroom is electric! The interactive and hands-on nature of the Micro:bits has captivated my students. They're thrilled to watch their ideas take shape, whether it's lighting up LEDs, responding to movement, or composing music. What once seemed like an intimidating skill has become a fun, creative adventure.

    A Future Full of Coders

    Thanks to you, a love for coding has blossomed. Some students are even asking for Micro:bits as gifts so they can continue exploring and learning at home. Seeing their passion extend beyond the classroom is truly heartwarming.

    One student, who once struggled with confidence, has become our classroom coding expert, eagerly helping classmates troubleshoot their projects. Another created a bilingual message board to celebrate their culture and language, combining creativity with technology in such a meaningful way. These moments remind me why this project matters so much.

    Thank you for sparking a passion for coding and creativity in my students. Your generosity has planted the seeds for a lifetime of learning, and I'm excited to see all the incredible places they'll go—thanks to you!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Atari
