Give STEAM, Build Futures: Help Us Raise $10,000 for Arduino Kits on Giving Tuesday!
This Giving Tuesday, you have the opportunity to inspire the next generation of innovators. For just $50, you can provide a student in a Los Angeles Title I school with a hands-on, high-tech "Circusduino" Arduino kit—teaching them essential skills in coding and engineering. Our goal is to raise $10,000 in one day, and with every donation matched up to $5,000 by our generous board members, your gift will have double the impact!
Two Bit Circus Foundation is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization, and your donation is tax deductible within the guidelines of U.S. law. Please keep your receipt as your official record. We'll email it to you upon successful completion of your donation.
What is a Circusduino Kit?
Circusduino is an arduino microcontroller board that is custom designed to help students learn programming and make their creations come to life. It can be used over and over for sustainable, high tech STEAM learning. A complete kit for two students is $50, but any size gift helps. Give the gift of STEAM with your donation today!
