My Project

I am incredibly fortunate to teach a diverse group of curious, creative, and enthusiastic third graders who love exploring new challenges. My students come to school eager to learn and ready to dive into hands-on activities that make learning exciting and meaningful.

Recently, my students had the chance to experience a coding lesson with a guest instructor using Ozobots, and it completely lit a spark in them!

They were so inspired that one of my students asked me if he could host a lemonade stand to raise money for a class set of Ozobots. This moment showed me just how much these robots captivated their imaginations and motivated them to learn. As an educator, I love to see my students so passionate about their own learning journey.

I am requesting a set of Ozobots coding robots for our third graders. These small, versatile robots bring coding and problem-solving to life in a way that is both engaging and accessible. With Ozobots, students will learn essential 21st-century skills like coding, critical thinking, and collaboration through interactive activities.

These robots will make a significant difference in our classroom by transforming abstract coding concepts into tangible, hands-on experiences. My goal is to spark a love for STEM in my students, help them build confidence in their abilities, and show them that they can be creators of technology—not just consumers.

My students deserve this opportunity because they are our future engineers, innovators, and problem-solvers. Their enthusiasm and determination, as shown by their willingness to fundraise for something they care about, is truly inspiring. By investing in this project, you’re giving them the tools to dream big and succeed in a rapidly evolving world. Thank you for supporting our classroom and helping us embark on this exciting coding adventure!
