Donate to Support a Local Middle School Classroom!

Las Vegas Area Teacher Asks the Community for Help Supporting his FIRST LEGO League Students!

Mr. Flood at Marvin M Sedway Middle School in North Las Vegas is looking for donations to purchase FIRST LEGO Spike robotics kits for his middle school classroom. With a new robotics kit, his students will have the opportunity to build and code a FIRST LEGO robot and compete in FIRST LEGO League Challenges. 

Mr. Flood elaborates on the importance of their funding project… “The students at my school want to learn and make this world a better place for all of us. In this digital age, students are the innovators of the future and one thing the school is missing is the tools for students to create. My school is a school filled with leaders and creators.”

If you want to support Mr. Flood’s middle school classroom, follow this link to their Donors Choose funding page.

Along Alaska’s western coastline, 400 miles from the nearest road system, villagers from the Indigenous community of Newtok were scheduled for permanent evacuation in mid-October due to the irreversible threat of rising seas. The story, recounted by Newtok resident Della Carl in September at the National Indigenous Climate Conference in Anchorage, Alaska, embedded itself deep in the hearts and minds of each member of the audience, making it clear not just that sea level rise is happening, but why it matters. Such is the power of a well-told story.
