Give Middle Schoolers the Confidence to Create
Middle school is when students start to say, “I’m not good at math.” Your support can help rewrite their story.
With hands-on challenges like the AWIM JetToy program, students build more than balloon-powered cars. They build confidence, creativity, and the belief that they belong in STEM.
Your gift today helps bring these powerful learning experiences to classrooms where they’re needed most.
STEM Learning They'll Never Forget
Programs like AWIM meet students where they are. Through age-appropriate, hands-on challenges, students begin to see themselves as problem solvers, teammates, and future engineers.
“When I was in 6th grade, the engineering-a-car project was my favorite project ever. I had so much fun doing it because we built something fun and unique. I liked working as a team and creating a cool idea.”
— Julia, former sixth grader at Pittsburgh Public Schools
When classrooms have the resources and support to deliver these experiences, students take pride in what they can do and who they might become.
These projects are more than schoolwork. They’re reminders of what students can accomplish when they know someone believes in them.
