Hi Everyone, 

I apologize for the late summer update but here it goes! 

So! We have managed to put nine kids through the program and all students kids got Chromebooks to work with while in class and also to continue learning, tinkering, and creating at home. Amongst the most popular projects was Robotics where they got to design, wire, and program robots and 3D printing  printing where students created everything from dollhouses, to clocks, to Pokemon figures, and even a Piggy bank.  The students loved it so much and the camp owners are so generous that we are now planning on creating an extension of the program to have some of the students who really enjoyed their time and expressed interest  to participate in an after school program. We even have one student who is very interested in returning to learn how to code so that she can help others and eventually intern there during the summer while she is in High School.

I am also happy to announce that the last set of students present their final projects tomorrow. As part of the closeout to this cause, I will send links to some of their websites and get pictures of all of the things they were able to create. Again, THANK YOU THANK YOU! You have affected the lives of 9 amazing students by allowing them to have  enriching experiences that they otherwise would have never had. Thank  you!

Hi everyone! 

I hope you are all having a great summer! I wanted to send you all a brief update of what has happened so far.   Three students have already gone through the program and they graduated two Fridays ago. They received exposure to a lot of new technology and took part in a lot of challenges. They even got their hands wet in learning to create a website got to c - a very rudimentary one at that- to show off their final project on the last day of the program. I have included a link to below so you can take a look.  In addition, they were ecstatic to receive their Chromebooks this past Friday. It was neat troubleshooting with their families and going into their homes to ensure that they had wifi and everything was set-up correctly. Thanks to your support we have helped propel them into the 21st century. I have included a few pictures  here. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out. THANK YOU!

Hi Everyone!

Thanks again for your investment in this cause.  We have some really wonderful students that are really eager and excited to be Makers this summer. I wanted to let you all know that although I have selected students that I worked with this past year at my school, and the school is listed on the cause page,  the school will not be receiving the funds nor are they involved in this endeavor whatsoever.  Your investments will directly go to MiamMade which is a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering the sustainable maker culture in the Great Miami area. The camp (WynwoodMaker Camp) is part of the umbrella organization ManoAmericas.org.  If you want more information you can click on this link  http://manoamericas.org/   If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me! Thank you! 

A little thank you video from us! :)
