This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
When asked what the most positive force in one's life is, all of my students would surely answer with the name of someone that he or she sees on a regular basis at school. We are a family of students, teachers, administrators, and paraprofessionals who work every day to make our community a better place.
Located in East New York, Brooklyn, we are a Title 1 school that serves grades 6-12.
Most of our students receive free breakfast and lunch, yet they do not let their surroundings or situation drag them down. Our students are kind, conscientious, and studious.
My Project
Code/Interactive is an organization whose goal is to expand computer science accessibility for all people, regardless of background.
I hope to spend five days in August learning the finer points of computer science pedagogy for under-served communities.
I have always been fascinating by computers and I hope to pass this interest on to my students.
I spent the last year exploring different coding platforms to use in the classroom, and this opportunity will help me cement my curriculum for the next school year. This platform uses Scratch, which is an ideal language for teaching young kids the fundamentals of algorithmic thinking.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
