Help Build Mr. Brown's Stem Library!

Help me give my students books to learn about computer science, coding, and STEM. These books will help students learn more about the technology that surrounds them, as well as provide ideas for future coding and makerspace ideas.

My Students

I teach Media Center(library and computer science) at a 100% Title I school; meaning the majority of my students are considered "At-Risk." Our students almost all qualify for free or reduced lunch. Many come from one parent families or are not even being raised by their parents. Needless to say my students are not given the same opportunities as many kids there age.

My district's media center budget for books is $0.00 so while many schools relay on parent fundraising or student fundraisers to maintain and update their library or update their media centers with technology tools like robots, or MakerSpace materials, I have to rely on personal funds and crowdfunding sites like this one.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read about my students and potentially bring greater educational opportunities!!

My Project

My 400+ computer science students are constantly wanting to learn more about the technology that surrounds them and ways to learn and do more. These books will provide them a new resource library. Books like the "Learn to Code" book set will help students improve their Computer Science knowledge base.

Our younger students need good read aloud stories to get them into the problem solving and STEM/MakerSpace mindset.

"Rosie Revere;Engineer" and "Whoose" will help them realize that children can be creative inventors and problems solvers.

This group of books will work to create our STEM library that will hopefully be funded and benefit my Kindergarten through 6th grade students.
