Alexandria, VA

US | wmerkert@invent.org | Support from MSBR will be used to underwrite participation costs for under-resourced children in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Local parents, children and education partners have expressed a strong desire for Camp Invention to be hosted during summer 2023. The community is eager to provide students with STEM-based enrichment aligned with state and national standards while also combatting learning loss. Funding will: * Impact 15 or more economically-disadvantaged children whose families lack the financial resources to pay the registration fee; * Provide bridge programming for school readiness for students impacted by COVID-19; * Engage children in a STEM-based program that develops creative and inventive thinking; and * Provide professional development for local teachers. Camp Invention is a week-long summer enrichment program with curricula focused on developing creativity, inventive thinking and problem-solving skills through hands-on STEM content. As children are immersed in Camp Invention’s rich storylines and inquiry-based challenges, they have countless opportunities to develop 21st Century competency skills (e.g., communication, collaboration, critical thinking). This experience prepares the next generation of the workforce for success from an early age as they develop skills to positively contribute to their communities. The 2023 CI curriculum, Wonder, will be implemented in Grayson and Hardin Counties. The program was piloted and tested in 2022 for national implementation in summer 2023. The program’s four modules – Catching Air™, Invention Celebration™, Pop-Up Venture™, and MimicBot™ – will guide children as they explore hands-on applications of physics, biology, engineering, entrepreneurship and the arts. In Wonder, participants will also practice teamwork, communication and Social Emotional Learning (SEL) skills as they work together to bring their ideas to life. | 02/01/2023 | Department of STEM Education Consortium; United States Patent and Trademark Office | November 2, 2022 4:05 pm | |||||

US | blair.robot@gmail.com | Every year, The Blair Robot Project builds a robot to participate in the FIRST Robotics Competition. Our team consists of 91 student members that attend Montgomery Blair High School and participate on the Business, Electronics, Programming, and Mechanics subteams. This year we would like the Maryland Space Business Rountable's support in providing the adequate funds necessary to build an innovative robot, participate in competitions, and support our various outreach programs. Our team meets 2-3 times a week to develop a robot that is able to compete in our offseason (Bunnybots) and regular FRC build season. Renting the room we use for our meetings costs $5,000 annually but we hope your support will help us cover the cost of reserving the space where we discuss ideas for robot design and construct well-engineered and competitive robots. Building our robot, we need to also purchase parts and tools to improve the efficiency of our robot and answer to the challenges presented in our competitions. Holding our Bunnybots offseason event and paying for our District competitions also is a serious expenditure for our team around $14,000. Lastly, an essential portion of Team 449 is the outreach program, where we set up STEM Fairs for elementary school students and teach classes in programming (classes in Java, Python, and Scratch for students of all ages) throughout our community. We hope MSBR will be able to support us in building our robot, preparing for competitions, and supporting our initiatives for the 2022-2023 school year. | 01/01/2023 | Montgomery Blair High School Magnet Foundation | November 1, 2022 9:22 pm | |||||
