My Project

Introduction: In South Central Los Angeles, many of our students face challenges outside the classroom, yet they come to school eager to learn and grow. With all students qualifying for free lunch, it's vital to provide them with enriching experiences that expand their horizons. By introducing LEGO Star Wars flight sets, we aim to spark their interest in aviation and engineering in a fun, engaging way.

The Need: Our students are bright, creative, and full of potential, but they often lack access to hands-on learning tools that inspire a deeper understanding of STEM concepts.

Aviation and engineering may seem distant, but these LEGO sets will make those fields accessible, giving students a tangible way to explore how things fly and move. These resources will create an exciting opportunity for students to learn while having fun, providing an experience that may not otherwise be available to them.

How it Helps Learning: LEGO Star Wars flight sets will allow students to explore the principles of flight and engineering through a medium they are excited about. As they build starships and vehicles, they will engage in discussions about real-world aviation, learning about aerodynamics, structural integrity, and the science behind flight. This project will merge creativity with STEM, helping students see the connection between their interests and future careers.

Impact: These sets will do more than teach STEM concepts—they will inspire. Students in South Central Los Angeles deserve the opportunity to dream big and explore new interests, and this project will help cultivate their curiosity. Whether it's a future in aviation, engineering, or technology, these students will benefit from a classroom that nurtures their potential.
