My Project

Years ago, my school was able to buy many STEM-related items for our STEM program, but money has been tight lately. It is now time to refill our closets with new tech and robots to make our after-school STEM club even more amazing!

These Robotic and Marble Run kits are going to allow my students to go beyond the classroom and grow their engineering skills while having fun.

These kits are a great way for students to work in teams and practice coding, building, and critical thinking skills, which are important skills for today's engineers. More importantly, these kits will allow my students to have fun while using them and learning!
