Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students come from all walks of life with every kind of financial level. My students include ELD (English Language Development), Special Education students, and everything in between. They are always doing their best to be the best that they can be. We celebrate not only our successes in our class but also our mistakes. They know that without mistakes, we can't learn.

My students are very active, artistic, enthusiastic technology hungry students.

They love technology and find it engaging and resourceful.

My STEM class will be learning video game design this year, with an emphasis on coding. Having technology in the hands of each of my students will be extremely helpful. I am trying to further their futures by teaching them much needed skills in a world where computers and coding careers are on the rise.

Help me make their futures brighter and more successful. Thank you for your time!

My Project

Currently, my schools STEM budget for technology has left my students and me short on technology. This DonorsChoose project will make it possible for every one of my students to have access to learning coding.

I am currently using some of my own personal iPads for students who don’t have one of the Chromebooks to learn coding.

What they truly need are their own Chromebooks to use in class like ever other student. This project will complete the technology needs for my STEM class making it possible for everyone to access the technology that is needed.

The printer will give the students the ability to print their written code and give me students paper and pencil activities to further their coding education.

The laptop will allow me to better teach my students. Being able to sit with them and work on the coding activities together makes their success my success. Please help me help my students learn code to further their successful futures.

With all this technology, my students and I will have a successful year and brighter future.
