Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma

The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma will champion life-long learning and enrich STEAM learning by implementing LEGO education, fostering hands-on experiences in robotics, programming, and engineering at its peripheral dormitory school, Jones Academy. This initiative aligns with the Nation’s mission to empower Native American youth, particularly those from underserved communities, by offering a culturally enriching educational experience. The school will purchase LEGO Education Packs, fostering problem-solving and critical thinking skills crucial for future careers. The project will integrate LEGO Education seamlessly into the curriculum, promoting literacy and STEAM education. Specific outcomes include weekly LEGO programming, student-led projects, and increased confidence and participation, furthering the Tribe's commitment to educational excellence and cultural preservation.
