My Project

I would love to provide my students a literature-rich environment in our technology classroom so students can see and read about people who look like them going on coding adventures or teaching them to better understand coding concepts.

Literature will inspire students to continue building their programming skills in secondary and higher education as well as help them become better readers.

Books are essential in every classroom environment and we need some in our technology classroom! With your generous donation, I can finally build a classroom library for my students.
