High Tech Kids

"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world" ~ Anne Frank   Anne Frank was 13 years old when she wrote this inspirational quote, the same age as many of the participants in our High Tech Kids programs. Each year, I am always amazed by what elementary, middle and high school students can accomplish when they work as a team to solve some of our global challenges and impact their local STEM community.    Like many Minnesota nonprofits, this has been our most challenging year financially due to rising inflation costs and reductions in corporate foundation funding. While we deeply appreciate the ongoing support from our long time donors - both individuals and foundations, we recognize the urgent need to broaden our base of supporters to ensure our programs remain accessible and sustainable for youth of all income levels.    We are asking for your financial support so we can continue to expand our programs and serve more Minnesota students.  Our team-based programs inspire students by engaging them in real world engineering challenges. This season we are proud to support Minnesota youth in grades K-12. 188 FIRST LEGO League Explore teams 464 FIRST LEGO League Challenge teams 187 FIRST Tech Challenge teams Between all 3 of these programs, we will be supporting 5,500 MInnesota students in our STEM programs.   Can you help us by supporting our mission to bring team-based STEM learning to Minnesota K-12 students? https://lnkd.in/gRB7-gTh

The full circle! A former FIRST LEGO League participant was a referee at our tournament with Minneapolis Public Schools. Love that she is paying it forward! #mnfll
