"We learned a lot about working together as a team."

According to Isabella Avery, one of Red Bank Elementary School’s inaugural robotics team members, programming computers and learning to problem solve with her teammates were two important lessons she learned last year. Red Bank’s Robotics Club, a member of the Central Valley Robotics League, was funded by a $4,084 grant from the Foundation for Clovis Schools.

Fellow team member Ramin Jimenez saw his involvement on the team lead to better public speaking skills. “Robotics helped
us when it came to speaking in front of a group of judges,” he said about the experience.

The Lego Robotics program is a worldwide competitive program designed to
boost interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) among students.
Last year, the Foundation funded 12

grants focused on growing STEM education in Clovis Unified.

We want the funds we distribute to empower teachers with the resources to make their innovative teaching ideas a reality and to impact students with creative ways of learning.
