Es un honor servir a nuestros niños.

Another group of @projectledo Robotics Summer Camp students surprised with laptops this week! 🎉 For most of these kids, this is the first device they’ve ever received and now they can continue their STEM and digital journey with their own computer. 💻✨

Congratulations to our spring 2022 LEGO robotics teams on completing a great season! All their hard work this year culminated at ORTOP's Portland Spring Expo last weekend. Great job everyone! #ProjectLEDOstrong #LEGOrobotics #stemeducationforkids #LEGOtournament

Who doesn't love folding up a piece of paper and watching it take flight? Today is your day to make all the paper airplanes you want and see how far you can get them to soar. #paperairplaneday #paperairplanes #engineeringforkids #stemeducationforkids #activitiesforkids

From all of us geeks here at Project LEDO, happy Geek Pride Day! #geekprideday #geeksruletheworld

May is #mentalhealthawarenessmonth. Help us remove any negative stigma in our society around mental health by increasing awareness and supporting each other. #mentalhealthawareness #educationforkids #portlandoregon #nonprofit

A big thank you to The Collins Foundation for supporting us this year! With their help, we'll reach more Portland youth with our STEM programs and school supply drives. We're so excited to have The Collins Foundation partnering with us!! #portlandoregon #stemeducationforkids

May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month! AAPI is an umbrella term that includes all Asian American Pacific Islander individuals. AAPI communities consist of ~50 ethnic groups with 100+ languages. #asianpacificheritagemonth #aapi #diversitymatters #celebratediversity

This week's Word of the Week is Immunology: the study of the immune system! If you're a parent looking for a good book to introduce young children to the human immune system, try this one: Rose's Superhero Birthday Party: An Immune Cell Treasure Hunt. buff.ly/3LY22fM

Through partnerships, Project LEDO has been able to grow and serve more students year after year. Join us on our mission to bring knowledge, resources, and opportunities to K-8 Portland youth that need it most and equip them for a brighter future. DM us! #equalaccess #Portland

This week's Word of the Week is Meteorology! Are you fascinated by the weather and love trying to understand and predict its ways? Perhaps a career in meteorology is for you! #meteorology #careerexploration #careerawareness #buildingourfuturegenerations #educationisprogress

In this month's volunteer spotlight video (buff.ly/3MiQ5RM), we'd like to highlight our Lead Educator: Scott Neal. Thank you Scott for all that you do for Project LEDO! #portlandoregon #nonprofit #volunteering #teachthefuture #portlandvolunteering #stemeducation

On this day in 1953, four scientists (James Watson, Francis Crick, Maurice Wilkins, Rosalind Franklin) published their paper on the structure of the DNA. What discoveries will our future STEM leaders make? #stemeducation #nonprofit #portlandoregon #sciencehistory #futurescient

There are so many career possibilities withan engineering degree; we've highlighted a few in this video. Our programs are designed to expose youth to engineering concepts and increase awareness of these careers. #futureengineers #legorobotics #portlandoregon #nonprofit

This week's word of the week is Apogee: the point in the orbit of the moon or other satellite where it is farthest from the earth. Now you know! #stemeducationforkids #outerspace #beyondearth #spaceeducation #spaceexploration #astronomy

Thank you to everyone at The Swigert Foundation for supporting Project LEDO with a grant! Your generous contribution supports our STEM programs in LEGO robotics and financial literacy, and helps us grow and expand to more schools. Thank you from all of us at Project LEDO!

Congratulations to all the students that completed our 2022 Financial Literacy program, and thank you to all our volunteer instructors for making this happen. Great teamwork! #ProjectLEDOstrong #STEMeducationforkids #portlandoregon #portlandvolunteers
