What are we doing for students in Atlanta?
Testimonial 1 - Supporting Local Schools
Henderson Mill Elementary
Thank you for the new reptile/fish molds and printing materials! As a STEAM certified school we are always looking to make sure that Art connects to everything we do. This project has multiple uses, the fish will help our 2nd & 4th graders raise our Rainbow Trout that get released into the Chattahoochee River. We have a partnership with Small Fry To Go that gives the kids a chance to see life-cycles and importance of clean water. I introduce students to Gyotaku printing (early form of documentation for fishermen) and have them use the fish molds to print and study the life-cycle they see at the Labitat. Our kindergarten students will focus on the textures of all the fish and reptiles during their introduction to 3D work. This helps young students to understand different forms and develop manual dexterity by being able to touch and feel the molds. 2nd and 5th grade will work on classification and use these to print and sketch. Students were so excited to see the reptiles and enjoyed being able to feel all the shapes and textures of the fish. I had a few students try out our new printing stuff! I can't wait to share everything with the entire school! Thank you again so much!”

Testimonial 2 - Personal Growth
Lakeside High School - GA Tech STEM Camp
"Thank you for the opportunity to attend Georgia Tech's Summer P.E.A.K's Mobile App Development Stem camp. It was a fun and entertaining learning experience for me. STEM FOR EVERY CHILD made the application process very easy. The application does a good job of pinpointing the right fit for the people that would benefit from the program. The camp itself was very fun, I enjoyed interacting with new people and experiencing the Georgia Tech campus. I also was able to improve my coding logic and skills through this camp as I was able to see more of the process that happens to create a full game. Overall the whole experience was very easy and fun, I am very grateful that I had this experience."

Testimonial 3 - Onsite Robotics & Literature
McLendon Elementary
"As the STEM teacher at a Title 1 school, I am always looking for ways to bring robotics into the classroom. Thanks to STEM FOR EVERY CHILD, we now have sets of Sphero Minis and Ozobots! I can't wait to roll a Sphero into the classrooms to spark curiosity in our new resources! The kids are going to love coding thank to your donation. Also, the literature you gave us really focuses on the population of our school. I know this will increase student confidence levels and give students examples of positive minority scientists, engineers, and inventors! Thank you so much for the ongoing partnership!"
~Maegan Donnell, K-5 STEM Teacher
Testimonial 4 - STEM Night for Parents & Students
Livsey Elementary - Title 1
"Thank you so much for helping us plan an upcoming STEM night! I have to say that I'm truly impressed with your undertaking and what you are doing not only for the community but for schools in general. Thank you for that! I am looking forward to partnering with you so we can get STEM certified.
Also, with your help, we can't wait to create a green screen in our STEM lab! Thank you, STEM for Every Child!"

Testimonial 5 - Fulfilling Computer Needs
Bob Mathis Elementary - Title 1
Thank you so very much for blessing my students with your wonderful donation and partnership. Your financial support to purchase Chromebooks truly made a difference in the STEM education of my students.
STEM for Every Child provided a way for students who do not have computers at home to complete online assignments in a timely fashion, and to learn coding.
You have made this possible and we thank you!
With gratitude, Ms. Weems
Testimonial 6 - EiE STEM Kit
Mission Road Elementary - Cartersville, GA
Thanks to STEM for Every Child, our students now have the opportunity to learn using Bubble Bonanza EiE kits!
Students will use this Bubble Bonanza Showcase kit during STEM lessons. Using this kit, students will be able to use their understanding of science content, creative thinking and collaborative skills to design a device that "BLOWS THEM AWAY" and brings amusement to real life.Our goal in education is to prepare students to become career and college ready, and eventually contribute to their community. STEM lessons help students achieve more by building skills that transcend the classroom. This EiE Bubble Bonanza kit will allow my students to reach our goal which is to prepare students for a future in STEM careers, by exposing them to STEM activities every day. Thank you for your help!
