  • Future Stem Engineers Looking to Explore New Horizons

    Funded Nov 30, 2022

    This project has made a tremendous impact in our STEM classroom! We asked for help to continue expanding our learning of computer science with coding and programing by adding Sphero bots to our STEM and engineering lab. Your donation helped us reach our goal and we are so grateful for your help!

    This technology is helping us become expert problem-solvers. With these skills early on we are helping our students become better prepared for the world that follows from middle school, high school and beyond.

    Our students have never worked with sphere robots before this, your donation has opened up a whole new world for us!

    Our students are continuously excited to continue exploring and learning with this new technology in our classroom.

    Thank you so much for your support!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Sosa

  • STEM Engineers in Need of Robots!

    Funded Oct 10, 2022

    Our students are so excited and grateful, because of you we have robots in our classroom! Thank you so much for your kind and generous donations. Your donation has brought coding with robotics to our STEM classroom for the very first time! The impact your donation will make is immeasurable. Our students are so excited about having robots to program and explore in their lab! Bringing coding with robotics to our classroom will allow us to bring to life abstract coding concepts we have been working on, into the real life output of a robot. It's bringing another opportunity to add computational thinking and creative problem solving into our classroom.

    You have truly made our dreams come to life!

    We are over the moon thankful!”

  • Under Construction; Creating Brooklyn's Next Generation of Makers and Engineers!

    Funded Oct 7, 2019

    We are so grateful for your help and contributions. Your donation's helped our maker dreams come true!

    When our students first unpacked the maker space they couldn't wait to build it and get started right away. Our 1st project was a motorized plane and it was a success!

    We are currently planning and designing plant boxes for a community project. We are also continuing our work with motors for our small STEAM experiments.

    Thank you again for believing in our project and for all your support!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Sosa

Makerspaces are amazing addition to science classrooms. Maker spaces provide hands-on, creative ways to encourage students to design, experiment, build and invent as they deeply engage in science, engineering and tinkering. Makerspaces are not just a lab, a craft area, a STEAM center, a tech room, or an art station; it's all of these combined into a dynamic and diverse student guided exploration of all these topics. This Makerspace would be such an important addition to our fledgeling STEAM program in Brooklyn. This is my 1st year as a Science teacher for our whole school and I'm working on making our science program modern and competitive. With this amazing addition to our lab it will be all of these things and, most importantly, my students will be having fun while learning!
