I am a senior at Ravenwood High School, class of 2023.
I actively mentor underpriveleged children in Nashville in STEM education including Robotics, and lead them to build their VEX GO robo-cars.
I enjoy playing tennis, ping pong, reading books, and researching climate topics.

I want to spread STEM awareness by teaching Robotics 101 to underserved kids who do not have the opportunity and education in their daily lives. I have taken the intiative by visting the kids in several Nashville Area locations and mentoring them by conducting multiple hands-on workshops.
Project Objectives
An Array of Charm, "AAOC", teaches that every child can achieve his or her goals, despite their current circumstances. Thier unique approach involves healing the ills of cultural, economic, and educational poverty through gender-specific foundation training in etiquette, civility, and protocol.
This was a small STEM presentation into what robotics can do to empower children.
These kids were assigned a LEGO project to build and had steps in order to complete it. I analyzed how efficiently they did it.
One kid asked "How does this step directly show the piece fitting on?" I replied, "Well, it shows a broad overview, and not exact. See if you can figure it out." Sooner or later, to my surprise, another kid helped her by finding the pieces to complete the robot.

I gave the opportunity of cutting precise pieces for a robot. The teacher helped the children as it proved to be a challenge, but helped them learn STEM concepts and they soon engineered a solar-powered robot.
While I was showing aspects of a solar-powered robot model, three teachers came up to me to ask me questions in order to also educate their students. They appreciated the amount of information I gave to them.
I gave the whole class a presentation on STEM, Robotics, and Drones, and asked them movie questions related to robotics, such as Wall-E.
To support the kids in my Robotics Education project for buying Robotics kits, I'm raising funds through the following activities:
Ms. Caroline Davis
AAOC
"I appreciate the offer and would love to partner with you as STEM learning is the wave of the future. Thank you so much for your presentation. The kids enjoyed it and will be ready and waiting next week! Again, we so appreciate what you are doing for our students."
Krista Trice - Kipp Academy School
AAOC
"I like the way I get to control the robot. And I like the way you get to tell the robot to different things. I learned how to control and program a robot."
Bryce Boyd - Robert Churchwell School
AAOC
"What I liked about the STEM Program was building robots and controlling them. And I also learned about driving them and I liked working with my friends."
Kamya B - Head Middle Magnet School
AAOC
"I learned how to code robots and move them. I also learned how to move them. I liked how you helped us be creative and learn about different things."
Mr. Jameson Parker
G.O.D. International
"Thank you for serving our students this semester!"
