1. Project Mindstorm

2. Since 1860 our purpose is to provide a positive alternative for boys and girls to being out on the streets.
The club does this by promoting character development through activities that develop skills in certain areas.

3. $5,400.00
The problem is we have been given $5,400 to use towards STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math).
The money can be used for supplies, resources, and incentives.
If not used this money will be lost, and it can be harder to get approved in the future for more funds.

4. Solution: Lego Mindstorm Kits
Lego Mindstorm Kits give the
Boys and Girls at the club an
intro to robotics, programming,
and improves upon their math
skills as they get a taste of
what engineers do.
