My Students

My students are Grade 8 students in a public school in New York City. We have started the process of learning coding and computer science, and would like to take it to the next level for next school year.

They are from diverse backgrounds and cultures.

They are very interested in coding as we began this topic this year utilizing The Hour of Code and StarLogoNova. We are hoping to expand our knowledge of computer science next school year through this professional development.

The resources that I am requesting include the cost of attending the 5-day professional development in New York City during August, as well as the teacher stipend for attending this professional development. The professional development will continue during several Saturday sessions during the school year, as well as continuing education during the summer of 2017.

The funding of this project will allow me to instruct my students on more advanced topics in computer science.

This year my learning has allowed me to give my students an introductory course in computer science and coding. I'm hoping to give these students so much more next year.

My Project

I will use the training to teach students Computer Science skills. In this day and age technical skills are in high demand and are becoming commonplace. With this training I will be able to learn skills to teach to many students that will prepare them for the modern world.

Students will complete Science Modeling projects tied to computer science.

The knowledge that I acquire from this training will allow me to instruct my classes on how to use computer science skills in any field of work to make themselves more marketable and productive in this highly technological world we live in.

Thank you for your support.
