My Project

I love how curious and creative my students are! They are always eager to explore new ideas, ask questions, and work together to solve problems. They thrive when they get hands-on learning experiences, especially in STEM. They love building, experimenting, and seeing their ideas come to life.

With Cubelets, my students will have the chance to dive into robotics in an exciting and interactive way.

These magnetic robot blocks make learning about coding and engineering simple and fun. By snapping different Cubelets together, students will discover how robots sense, think, and act. This will help them develop critical thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving skills—all while having fun!

My goal for this project is to provide students at our school with engaging, hands-on experiences that inspire a love for STEM. I want them to see themselves as creators and innovators who can design and build their own robotic inventions. Cubelets will allow them to explore these concepts in a way that feels like play but builds real-world skills.

My students are special because they are eager learners who get excited about trying new things. They work hard, support one another, and love exploring technology. With your help, I can bring this incredible learning tool into our classroom and open the door to new possibilities for my students. Thank you for believing in them!
