Our Lady of the Snows: 25 Robot Kits Supporting K-6 Technology Classes

Class Project Submitted ($5,000 award)

At Our Lady of the Snows, your support will help purchase 25 robot kits, of varying educational levels, assisting K-6 Technology Classes. Each robot built is more than just a project, it’s a step towards a future where their passions can shape entire industries and communities. These students will become tomorrow’s innovators, engineers, and leaders. Because when students learn to create, they learn to shape their future… and our community’s future! 

Students would actively reach out and connect with local community members to explore how robotics can address everyday challenges. Through interviews and conversations, they will discover how robots could assist elderly or disabled individuals, help with household chores, yard work, or even care for pets. By utilizing robots they build, they will bring their innovative ideas to life. These projects would emphasize collaboration, empathy, and real-world problem solving, creating a strong connection between classroom learning and our local community!

St. Albert the Great: Enhance School Security

School Project Submitted ($25,000 award)

At St. Albert the Great Catholic school we feel strongly about giving back to our local community, especially to those who are experiencing a time of suffering. In keeping with this mission of service and to emulate the greatest servant of all time, Jesus Christ, we have decided to create The Healing and Hope Bags. These bags will be given to parents of children who have had a prolonged stay in the hospital to be able to make them feel a little more comfortable during their hospital stay. 

If we are so fortunate to win this challenge, we will use the gift to further enhance the security at St. Albert the Great Catholic School. The health and safety of our students is very important.
