  • Ferguson STEMworks Project

    Funded Mar 7, 2016

    My students will learn, create, and use technology effectively. By having more computers in my classroom, my students will have the tools necessary that will help them succeed in their future careers.

    Since these laptops have the latest technology, students are encouraged to continue learning and improve their technology development.

    Students love this new technology and enjoyed being able to collaborate what they've learned with others. We are so thankful, thrilled and excited with this donation.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Florian

  • The Programmers of Tomorrow

    Funded Apr 1, 2015

    Thank you so much for your donation. All my students love technology and are excited about the materials we received. We are using the computers every day in class. Each student needs a computer to code their own programs. The laptops are a big help in allowing all students have their own computer. Students are learning programming concepts using an innovative programming environment to support the creation of 3D animations, the Alice Project provides tools and materials for teaching and learning computational thinking, problem solving, and computer programming across a spectrum of ages and grade levels. My students enjoy the graphical interface, and how easy it is to use.”

    With gratitude,

  • Ferguson iTech Coders

    Funded Jan 20, 2015

    My students love the laptops. Now they all have an opportunity to work individually in their own assignments. With the laptops, they can still be close to each other and work together.

    The laptops are being used to code. Students are learning how to create HTML web pages. They are also participating in Khan Academy courses, where they are learning computer programming, animations, and games using JavaScript and Processing JS.

    Students are excited to have these resources. They are happy to learn and be creative. Having these resources has boost my teaching and student learning has increase tremendously in my classes.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Florian

Technology is one of the most pervasive forces in our society today. We use it both to connect and detach, to save time and to waste time. We're especially dependent on those who make their living by creating, powering and supporting our electronics and information systems. Employment numbers are already high within the tech industry. The U.S. expects to have 1.4 million computing jobs by the year 2020 and only 400,000 computer science students. There’s a big gap that we need to fix. Technology careers are one of the fastest-growing fields in the nation. This is why I encourage students to learn Computer Science. Technology is in every field. We tell our kids to study what the like, whether is art, nursing, teaching, etc. But, sometimes we fail to tell them that in every career there’s problem solving. Computer Science is problem solving, which is an essential skill for life.
