My Project

My students are passionate high schoolers with big dreams in STEM. They’ve worked tirelessly to qualify for a national competition in Chicago, where they’ll showcase their talents in math, wind energy, robotics, and R/C racing. These experiences aren’t just competitions; they’re opportunities to learn, grow, and build skills for their futures.

The resources we’re requesting, like R/C cars, SAT prep materials, and travel kits, will ensure my students are prepared, confident, and ready to compete at their best.

These items will support hands-on learning, team collaboration, and problem-solving, skills, essential to their success in and out of the classroom.

What makes my students special is their resilience, drive, and determination to excel in STEM fields where they are underrepresented. This competition is a chance for them to shine and show the world what they can achieve. Your support will help us make this journey a reality and inspire the next generation of innovators.
