About My Students

My students represent a group of young individuals with varied abilities and a variety of learning needs. They come together daily from all over our city. My students show a great deal of passion and are motivated by educational opportunities that are practical to their lives and relevant to their interests. This school year, we are working hard to develop our critical thinking and technological skills, and to begin to work toward building pragmatic solutions to challenges in our daily lives.

This project will allow my students the opportunity to learn the various components that make up a computer, understand how they work together in a system, and ultimately construct their own Virtual Reality and coding-capable computer to use in the classroom. Not only will this provide a motivational experience for my students, knowing that they built the machine with which they will continue to work through the remainder of the year, but it will provide them a powerful tool with which they can continue to develop essential skills for their technologically dependent futures.

In Their Own Words

We want to make a computer that we can use with our Oculus Rift so that we can create 3D art projects and presentations in technology class. We hope to work together to build the computer in class and then we are going to share what we did with the rest of the school!

I will be a leader in this project by writing this grant for Donors Choose and helping my classmates build our new computer. I will make sure that my classmates and I take care of our new computer and don't break it. We hope that it will last for a long time.

This project is important because we can use virtual reality to see places that we have never been before. We can use the virtual reality console to create artistic projects in 3D and share field trips that we take during the year with our families and the rest of our school.
