Current Sponsors for the 2021/2022 School Year:

Why Should You Become a Sponsor?

​The STEM Academy at Deltona Middle School (DMS), a Title 1 public school, would like to invite you to become a sponsor of our DMS STEM Academy. The DMS STEM Academy is a hands-on fully engaging program that offers students a rigorous curriculum driven by problem-solving, student choice, and discovery in a student-centered environment where learning comes alive. 
The DMS STEM Academy enriches over two hundred talented young men and women that are currently preparing to enter our future workforce. The teachers and staff are dedicated to guiding our students as they learn through hands-on engineering projects and empower our young adults to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
Your business can make a tremendous difference in the lives of our young DMS STEM Academy students, as well as the community, by becoming a sponsor of the Deltona Middle School STEM Academy. Your sponsorship will benefit our many student endeavors by providing funding for our Makerspace materials and supplies, acting as a sponsor of our two (2) First Lego League Robotics Teams (Infinity Bots and Charging Chaos), becoming a sponsor of our end of year STEM Awards Banquet, and ensuring that our first-ever Amazing Shake Competition is a huge success. Each of these events are held at various times throughout the year and enhance all around student learning. The information outlined below describes each activity/event in more detail.
Makerspace Materials and Supplies:
Within a typical school day, our students engage in "Missions" ranging from coding a Raspberry Pi as a personal computer, building a zip-line, or making a functioning human body in Minecraft, to making and selling items in a student-run enterprise. Students also work on a Genius Hour project where they explore their own passions and creativity. Your sponsorship will help to ensure that they have the materials and supplies they need to make their passions come alive.
First Lego League Robotics Teams: ​
​In FIRST® LEGO® League, children are immersed in real-world science and technology challenges. Teams research and design their own solution to a current scientific question or problem while also building and programming autonomous robots using LEGO® MINDSTORMS® technology to perform a series of missions. Through their participation, children develop valuable life skills and discover exciting career possibilities, while learning that they can make a positive contribution to society. 
DMS STEM Awards Banquet:​
This year, we will host our first ever DMS STEM Awards Banquet is a time where students, parents, educators, and community members will celebrate student’s accomplishments. Awards will be given for outstanding work on student Missions, as well as awards for outstanding CyberPatriot and First Lego League competitors. In addition, the winner of the 1st Annual Amazing Shake Competition will be announced!
Amazing Shake Competition: ​
The Amazing Shake is a competition that places emphasis on teaching students' manners, discipline, respect, and professional conduct. Before the competition, students learn the nuances of professional human interaction as they are taught skills such as how to give a proper handshake, how to network, how to give a successful interview, and how to remain composed under pressure. The goal is to develop poised and equipped individuals that can present themselves exceptionally well, given any circumstance that may arise, now or in the future.
Your sponsorship will help to ensure the success of all DMS STEM Academy students, while providing your organization with exposure to a STEM-focused audience. You are welcome to focus any donation towards a specific event or to the STEM Academy as a whole. If you sponsor the DMS STEM Academy as a whole, the funds will be dispersed to the largest area of need throughout the year.
