The WCEF was integral in helping expand our drone after-school program. Engaging in drones at the middle school level allowed us to engage in the basics of aeronautics, coding, and flight simulation activities. Our kids have never been so engaged!

We started with a simple idea of using robots to help reluctant math students. We ended up with enthusiastic math students who wanted more opportunities.

The grant money I received for Stephen Decatur Middle was for our weekly student video announcements, Bulldog News. We used the money to purchase new lavalier microphones and microphone flags. The funds were invaluable and I’m really grateful we got them.
