Fundraising

If you are interested in HOW I raise money, email me, and I’ll add you to the Moodle where I have all my resources. 

For those who don’t know, I am wildly successful at raising money for both my robotics team and my classroom.  I did a presentation on this at CS&IT but unfortunately I was up against two other popular presentations and buried in a back corner.

I have been able to get at least one paying staff development a summer for the past summer.  For example, last year Texas Instruments paid me to learn more about PBL, something I am implementing for my district.

This summer I am getting paid to go to another one.

I have gotten local mini-grants to support my robotics team, and have one a very large award from district.  As a result, I obtained $5000 for my classroom and $5000 for my classroom.  I am now on the selection committee and have helped others gets that award.

Finally I have had over 20 projects funded on Donor’s Choose.

Now, I can’t guarantee that you will equally successful, but I think by working together we can increase the odd.
