My Students

Our middle school is an urban school in Stamford, CT. Our students are very diverse and have a +50% free and reduced-price lunch rate. The Stamford Public Schools have students that speak over 50 different languages and a significant ELL population.

The hard working kids of our middle school require support to improve our technology curricula in order to include robotics for all students during the school day.

This project would be exciting for the students and help develop computational thinking skills in an equitable manner.

Please help us communicate to these deserving students that they matter!

My Project

These modest supplies will allow us to support our middle school robotics unit!

Help us unleash our creative energies and have fun learning with our Sphero Robots!

The USB hubs will keep our robots charged up appropriately and the cones and poster board will allow us to design courses that will test our programming and computational thinking abilities.

Would you please help me utilize these resources with all of our 6th graders at our magnet middle school to ensure cs4all and expose our very diverse community to the excitement robotics and programming?

Thank you so much in advance for your support!
