My Project

Dear Donors,

I’m excited to share the vision for my engineering and technology classroom!

My students are passionate, curious learners who are eager to explore, design, and create. Our class focuses on real-world problem-solving and hands-on learning that fosters critical thinking and innovation.

To make our learning experiences even more impactful, I’m seeking support to provide resources that will enhance their understanding of engineering principles and technology applications. With your help, I can introduce tools like rocket kits, 3D printers, and software that empower students to bring their ideas to life.

These resources will allow us to:

Build prototypes using 3D printing and explore CAD software.

Program and test robots, demonstrating the Universal Systems Model.

Collaborate on engineering challenges, sparking creativity and teamwork.

Your donation will directly impact our classroom by giving students access to cutting-edge technology and the opportunity to explore careers in engineering, technology, and innovation. Every contribution helps us bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world applications.

Thank you for considering our project. Together, we can inspire the next generation of problem-solvers and creators.

With Gratitude!

Ms. Nina Shannon
