My Students

My students are more ready than ever to explore the world of technology and computer programming!

My students are 5th graders preparing to embark on the journey of middle school.

With the comeback of computer programming and technology literacy, they are eager to learn and incorporate critical thinking and problem solving skills into all curricular areas. The students come from economically disadvantaged families and need this exposure in an educational setting.

My Project

My students will use the Apple MacBook to research and find programs suitable for them to use in the classroom for computer programming. They have already been introduced to code.org and are so excited to be building technological knowledge through computer programming apps. Computer programming is truly making a comeback.

The donations to this project will allow for a broader and wider spectrum of exposure to computer programming applications.

I have already introduced them to financial literacy and the importance of saving money and making wise decisions as they grow older. This is the next step to improve their learning and prepare them for a career ready future.
