  • LEGO It Up

    Funded Nov 11, 2024

    I want to express my heartfelt gratitude. It's because of individuals like you that my students have the opportunity to fully embrace the wonders of science. I'm deeply committed to ensuring my students genuinely grasp the topics presented to them, and the most effective way to achieve this is through hands-on science lessons. Your generous donation has ignited a newfound passion for science in my students, and for that, I'm truly thankful.

    My ultimate goal is to provide my students with the tools they need to thrive and excel in this fast-paced world. To do so, I strive to make science education hands-on, but I require more resources to make it possible. As an educator, I aim to empower my students for future success by immersing them in educational experiences that foster lifelong learning, critical thinking, and personal growth. I firmly believe that by instilling a love for science in my students, they are more likely to pursue careers in this remarkable field, knowing that opportunities in STEM can open countless doors for a lifetime.

    I take my responsibility as an educator seriously, and I am dedicated to offering my students every exciting opportunity to explore the world of STEM. My ongoing quest for materials and resources is driven by my commitment to their growth and success. I wholeheartedly credit wonderful donors like you for helping me become the teacher I am today. Thank you for your invaluable support.”

  • Wow, It Works

    Funded Oct 25, 2024

    In today's world, where information and technology are always changing, it's very important for students to have a strong understanding of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). The National Science Foundation says that improving students' skills in these subjects is essential for future success.

    As a teacher, I get to work with a fantastic group of students who are excited about learning.

    They make every day enjoyable as we explore new topics together. Even though they come from different backgrounds and some face financial challenges, they are among the most dedicated and impressive learners I have ever taught.

    I am determined to give all my students, no matter their financial situation, the chance to explore the exciting world of STEM. Getting involved with STEM early can open many doors for their future.

    The kits we will use are great tools for students to check their progress, see where they can improve, and make their learning experience even better. They will work together to make a car move.

    In order to introduce them my students to aviation concepts using LEGO model cars, we discus basic principles of motion and aerodynamics, such as speed, drag, and thrust. Use the LEGO cars to demonstrate how changing designs, like adding or removing certain parts, can affect how fast or far they move, similar to how airplane design impacts flight. Students will modify their cars to mimic airplane features, like wings or streamlined shapes, to explore lift and stability. This hands-on activity not only makes learning engaging, but also helps students grasp foundational aviation concepts in a tangible way. This will be a great way to learn about aviation”
