Ms. Cardwell's students in Sparta, MO, just wrapped their first project using Hummingbird robotics, and they crushed it! From clap-activated motion to button-triggered lights to a fully randomized “BANK” game with music and moving doors, students dove into coding & testing.💙🤖

Wow! Thank you @securityonion for the amazing $15,000 donation to the Rural Tech Fund at Security Onion Con in Augusta! You’re helping us put tech tools and opportunities in the hands of rural students nationwide. 💻🫶


Students in Higginsville, MO, have been having a blast with their @Sphero Indis! 🤖


Ms. Jones in Convoy, OH, used her Rural Tech Fund grant to buy LEGO Spike Kits! Her 1st–7th graders are diving into coding and collaboration—her 7th graders are even creating their own lessons! 💻


We’re excited to reveal the innovative student-designed experiments launching in this year’s Infinite Sky program 🚀 From UV radiation to atmospheric profiles to plant science in near space — these projects are out of this world. Explore the lineup: ruraltechfund.org/peek-inside-th…

"We are using the robots and stretching the ways we can use them. Using the iPads to code and control them, setting up obstacles, learning the different modes that the robots function on, and working as a team to complete different missions." -Ms. Benedict, Bolivar, MO 💫 @Sphero

Imagine being a kid, coding your first game, and then holding it in your hands to actually play. 💻🎮 That’s what students in Macclenny, FL experienced—and the joy was off the charts. Read about it here: ruraltechfund.org/code-in-hand/

🚀 At Los Lunas Library’s summer @Sphero program, students coded robots to conquer bridges, tunnels & obstacles—building problem-solving, teamwork, & STEM skills along the way. They programmed for speed, accuracy, & timing, then shared strategies to improve their code & designs.
