| Dear TAF, |
This week, we are working diligently to process TechStart applications for fall classes which start the first week of October. (Can you believe that's just a few weeks away?!) It's wonderful seeing so many familiar faces come by the TAF offices with their parents. They are so eager to learn something new. I know we're not going to disappoint them.
Last year, we were blown away by the enthusiasm and projects that came out of our Robotics classes. While the students were having fun, they learned a lot about scientific inquiry, engineering, technology and project management.
We're kicking off the fall session with another Robotics class, taught by one of our lead teachers and in-house robotics guru, Richard Brown. The plan is to roll the class out to all of our 3rd-6th grade classes next spring.
The thing is, the robotics kits cost $250 a piece--that's about $1,500 in equipment alone to bring this dynamic course to a class of 12 young people.
You can help us make this first Robotics session a success. Click here to show your support for TechStart and raise the $1,500 needed to buy Lego Robotics kits for the class this fall. Then, for all you bloggers and tweeters, help us spread the word!
