My Project

Our STEM/STEAM program is finally off and running in the new year thanks to generous and considerate donations from donors like you. Our scholars have been creating coding brackets, air-dry clay creations, and even robotics. We are trying to continue to enrich and increase our students' interest by fulfilling their wishes to learn how to create coding with LEGOs and learn to use the 3D printer we have access to.

Unfortunately, we are falling short on materials in the form of physical LEGO bricks and Makerbot filament for the 3D printer.

We are requesting these materials so that our scholars can continue to learn more STEM-based skills from using these materials.
