My Project

Students have and use many different kinds of technology in the world today in all areas of their lives. It is imperative that students learn that it is okay not to be dependent on technology to do things for us. Sometimes they need to revert to doing things as they once were performed. With the organizer, paper and pencils we will be able to do that.

The students of this school are from a high-poverty area, and many do not have the experience needed to live outside of the community.

It is up to us as teachers to inform students and teach them about life around us. This program helps to develop students into skilled future STEM workers. We offer STEM programs that allow students to explore interests in this area.
