My Students

Our students are hard-working and inspired to make their ambitions come true. Like many school districts, we lack funds to be able to provide students with the materials they need to be successful in the 21st century. Students get excited when they see their success with different materials, resources, and manipulatives. To see their faces light up as they are figuring out new concepts and life is exciting.

Teachers at my school are motivated by the success of all students both academically and in preparing them for life.

Our school currently serves K-5 students from different geographical demographics with rigorous academics. I am a part of a teacher culture that is driven to inspire the minds of young people.

These materials will allow students to meet their fullest potential.

My Project

In the 21st century, coding, collaborative STEM activities, incorporating technology and robotics, and nurturing students' imaginations are vital. STEM activities are limited due to a lack of materials.

Jobs in the STEM field are increasing at a rapid rate.

With technology, constantly in students' and parents’ hands, they are constantly wanting instant gratification. Teachers are working hard to teach the curriculum and keep students engaged and active learners. "According to Fast Company, in the next decade, 80% of professions will require a deep understanding of STEM skills. In the meantime, fewer and fewer students are going above and beyond to excel at STEM skills. 57% of students are struggling to meet the basic skills requirements in math and most students choose not to take electives or advanced courses that are required to continue on in a STEM-related field."

I want to make every day the best day of school by providing opportunities to discover, inspire and challenge students' minds using Dash and Dot in a robotics club at my school. STEM learning increases students’ engagement, through creativity, imagination, and collaboration.

Students will engage in projects around robotics to increase their 21st-century skills and provide unique and diverse learning opportunities.
