• "Building Emergency Signal and Smart Watches with Micro:bits!"

  Funded May 5, 2025

  Because of your generosity, we were able to get the voice recorder buttons that helped showcase our students' work in such a creative and powerful way during Literacy Night! 🎤📚

  While our original Micro:Bit order was backordered, we were thrilled to receive the Strawbees Micro:Bit component kit and a piano that connects with the Micro:Bit instead — and the students LOVED building and exploring with them! 🎹🤖🛠️

  Your support brings joy, creativity, and hands-on learning to life in our classroom. Thank you for making this possible! 🙌✨”

• Free Throw Kibo

  Funded Feb 14, 2025

  We are so incredibly grateful for your support and for providing us with the Free Throw activity for KIBO! Thanks to your generosity, our students had the amazing opportunity to dive into robotics in a fun, hands-on way that connected creativity, problem-solving, and engineering all in one.

  The Free Throw challenge sparked so much excitement in our classroom! Students loved designing, building, and coding their KIBO robots to successfully shoot a basket. They worked together, tested different ideas, made adjustments, and celebrated every small victory. It was truly inspiring to see their teamwork, perseverance, and critical thinking grow with each attempt.

  Because of you, our students felt like real engineers and innovators. Thank you for making this joyful, meaningful learning experience possible — we are so appreciative of your kindness and belief in what our students can achieve!”

• Exploring Weather and Whale Wonders with Kindergarten

  Funded Mar 25, 2025

  Thank you so much for your incredible generosity and support! Because of you, we've already been able to dive into some amazing learning experiences — and we're just getting started!

  So far, I've used the materials with two Kindergarten classes for our weather project, and the students have absolutely loved it. They are analyzing weather data using bracelets to understand how the weather feels during different months. They are making paper dolls and discussing what they would wear in each season, what they might see in the sky, and how the weather would make them feel.

  The kids have been thrilled making patterns with the stamps and working together to solve weather puzzles — it's been wonderful to see their excitement, collaboration, and deep thinking grow with every activity. This project has been a huge success already, and I can't wait to do it with two more Kindergarten classes before we move on to our whale project!

  Thank you again for believing in my students and helping bring these joyful, hands-on learning experiences to life. You are making a real difference, and we are so grateful!”

• Powering Up

  Funded Dec 2, 2024

  Thank you so much for the power banks for our Hummingbird Bits kits!The students absolutely love using them, and they've made such a difference in our projects. They work so much better than batteries, providing a more reliable power source, and they're incredibly easy to transport, making our robotics activities even more flexible. I can't wait to see what new projects they will create using them. Your generosity is truly appreciated, and we're excited to continue exploring and creating with them!”

• Pixel Delight

  Funded Dec 31, 2024

  My students absolutely love creating pixel images with the cubes! Watching their faces light up as they transform tiny cubes into vibrant, detailed designs is truly magical. These hands-on projects not only spark their creativity but also help them understand important concepts like pixels, binary numbers, and the foundations of digital imaging in a fun and engaging way. The cubes provide endless opportunities for teamwork, problem-solving, and artistic expression, allowing every student to feel a sense of accomplishment as they bring their ideas to life, pixel by pixel. Your support fuels this excitement and deepens their learning!”
