• STEM MakerSpace: Refill and Refresh Our Learning!

  Funded May 5, 2025

  Wow, what an amazing donation for our classroom! My class was thrilled to learn that our project was funded so quickly by such generous donors. I am so incredibly thankful for your donation and the belief you have in my students to become engineers.

  As we received the refill materials for our MakerSpace cart, the students were excited to create projects that they had been imagining for months. In my classroom, one of our rules is to work hard while having fun, and the MakerSpace cart and materials help us achieve that goal! The students have enjoyed building with the electrical components, wheels, propellers, and wood to create cars, helicopters, and planes. This donation has enhanced my science and math curriculum tremendously!

  My students are growing in their problem-solving skills daily because of the MakerSpace materials and I owe that growth to such generous donors! Your generosity has truly sparked a culture of innovative thinking in my classroom!”
