    I wanted to express our deepest gratitude for your generous donation of podcasting equipment yo Washington High School.

  • Minimize the Digital Divide

    Funded Aug 5, 2020

    Working through this pandemic has been challenging for both teachers and students. It has forced us to have to think of innovative and creative ways for students to learn and integrate Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) at home. Several students lack the technology and software compatible to engage in coding or some of the other digital necessities to be competitive STEM scholars. These technology devices have helped a few students in our AgSTEM program that were in need of technology to draft layouts for our plans for a aquaponics system on campus, as well as was a digital tool for them to capture moments at a local urban garden in our community. We are very grateful for your contribution.”

I teach at the historical Washington HS in Atlanta, Ga. I'm the educator of lower income, inner city African American students receiving 100% free & reduced price lunch. As a Science (STEM) educator my students struggle with scientific literacy & connecting how science & technology relates to them. I strive to show them how minorities impact STEM careers & more importantly empower them to change their communities which often are ravaged with poverty. Science is unique as it encompasses all other content areas. Science surprises us with what it discovers and creates. At the core of science's self-modification is technology. Unfortunately, my students do not have proper access to technology outside of their cell phones. Hand-held technology devices & laptops would bring Science and the STEM world alive.....allowing them to have real world experiences that could shape their educational dreams and goals.
