Are you interested in bringing robotics and 21st century education to your students for free?
There may be a way to make that happen.
ESSER (Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief) Funding is federal financial assistance (within the USA) provided to states, districts, and schools to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education, supporting various initiatives to address learning loss among students.
As we approach the 2024 deadline for (ESSER) III funds, education leaders face a pivotal moment to invest in lasting change. With literally Billions of ESSER dollars not yet allocated, these funds offer a unique opportunity for schools to increase student engagement and shape the future of education, if they act quickly. Schools and districts only have until September 30, 2024, to utilize or commit these funds.
How can the impact of these funds be maximized?
ESSER III funds are versatile, allowing investment in various educational initiatives, including the purchase of robotics and STEM technology. By incorporating robotics into the curriculum or extended learning programs, schools can help students gain vital 21st century literacies in robotics, A.I. and computer science while fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. Robotics education provides students with a powerful combination of technical and soft skills, preparing them for the challenges of tomorrow's workforce.
Can ESSER funds be used to purchase EZ-Robots?
Yes, many schools have purchased EZ-Robots through ESSER funds.
EZ-Robot achieves the exact goals that ESSER was created for. We engage magnitudes higher levels of engagement than other educational robotics solutions and we're giving students real-world skills that directly align to the rapidly evolving workplace.
Our programs have been designed to engage the maximum number of students across all genders, socio-economic backgrounds, and even levels of academic achievement. Students LOVE our robots and the impact is truly transformational.
We've helped high schools increase enrollment in robotics education by up to 10x for boys and 100x for girls, achieving gender parity.
Within middle schools, up to 90% of students indicate that they would be interested in learning robotics and computer science, and in elementary schools we've helped schools achieve 97% engagement.
As robotics and A.I. increasingly transform the workplace, students with these literacies will be significantly advantaged.
Historically, many schools have lacked the financial resources to bring high-value educational programs like robotics and computer science to their students. ESSER makes it possible for schools and districts to bring this education to their students.
What happens after the ESSER program concludes on September 30th, 2024?
As educators navigate the path ahead, it's crucial to consider the implications of unspent ESSER funds. Estimates suggest that by September 30, 2024, a significant portion of funds—approximately $50 billion—may remain unused.
Utilizing this money in a way that provides enduring educational value and inspiration to students is an important strategy in maintaining a strong learning environment.
For many schools in lesser affluent communities, this program represents a unique opportunity to improve their school's educational opportunities today, while also creating an enduring solution that will help students thrive for years to come.
Can EZ-Robot help guide educators through the process of getting ESSER funds?
Yes, EZ-Robot is committed to helping schools bring robotics and A.I. education to students and we would be happy to work with you to navigate using ESSER funding to enhance the STEM & CTE education being offered within your school or district.
We have solutions that are specifically designed to help schools implement world-class robotics and computer science programs that will remain cutting-edge for up to 10-years, through this one-time fund.
But remember, time is of the essence as this program concludes on September 30th of 2024.
