My Project

My students have accomplished a lot over the last few years, even during these COVID times. Despite what is being said, many students thrived while learning from home, especially in coding and robotics programming. Modern technology made it possible for me to teach my students programming even while not in the school building. Their skills have quickly advanced beyond the basics. Now we need your help to prove it! We need supplemental Lego Robotics parts to build competitive robots for our hopeful participation in the Lego Robotics League.

Your generosity could begin to bridge the achievement gap and as my students compete in Lego League, they grow and push themselves even more.
