Project Title: STEM Exploration
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
The STEM Exploration Program is designed to ignite curiosity, build confidence, and expand opportunities for students through hands-on robotics and engineering experiences. Using 24 mBot Ranger robotics kits, students work individually or in pairs to explore coding, mechanical design, and problem solving in a highly engaging, project\u2011based environment.<\/p>\n
The program introduces students to foundational STEM concepts\u2013such as sensors, motion, circuitry, and programming logic\u2013through guided challenges and open\u2011ended design tasks. Students learn to assemble, code, and operate their robots while developing critical thinking, teamwork, and creativity. Engineering notebooks, collaborative activities, and structured workshops help students document their learning and reflect on their progress.<\/p>\n
To support a rich learning experience, the program includes a small STEM Choice Fund that allows teachers and students to select additional materials\u2013such as sensors, craft supplies, or small electronics\u2013to enhance projects and encourage innovation. Student incentives and a culminating celebration recognize effort, perseverance, and growth.<\/p>\n
By providing access to high-quality robotics tools and meaningful STEM learning experiences, the STEM Exploration Program directly aligns with the Hermanowski Family Foundation\u2019s mission to equip children and young adults with the tools they need to succeed and reach their full potential. Students gain not only technical skills but also the confidence and curiosity that fuel lifelong learning.\n<\/p>\n
Total Project Budget: $7,500<\/p>\n
Other Funding
\nSources For The Project (Committed & Potential): Hermanowski Foundation – $7500 – Potential<\/p>\n
Project Duration: 2026-2027 Academic Year
\nGeographical Area Served: The STEM Exploration Program will serve students at John F. Kennedy Catholic School located in Trumbull County, Ohio. The program primarily benefits children and young adolescents living in the surrounding communities, including Warren, Howland, Niles, Girard, and other nearby areas.
\nAge Group To Be Served: The STEM Exploration Program will serve elementary and middle school students, approximately ages 6-14, at JFK\u2019s Lower and Upper Campus. This age range is ideal for hands-on robotics and early engineering experiences, allowing students to build foundational STEM skills, strengthen problem\u2011solving abilities, and develop confidence during key developmental years.<\/p>\n
