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
I teach at a model school that incorporates performing arts, visual arts, coding, computer science, and STEM (STEAM) within the curriculum. Our urban school receives federal funding for programs that provide free breakfast and lunch for every student, and title 1 services to economically disadvantaged boys and girls. We are a class which includes military families, gifted/talented students, ESL/ELL students, inclusion/special education students, and the tech savvy. My students are energetic and very busy within the classroom. Even with parental support, I would love to say that my students have everything that they need to be successful. But they don't. We are preparing students for college, the workforce, and the world beyond, so they can have a better life.
My Project
I have integrated computer science into our school curriculum over the last three years. I would like to take our experiences and activities to the next level by adding robotics. I am requesting 2 Ozobot starter kits, a set of washable, coding markers and 1 dual pack of Ozobot 2.0 to further their interest in coding and computer programming.
Computer Science and coding teaches critical thinking, practical skills and problem solving, while also preparing students to succeed in a workforce that is digitally increasingly .
Using the Ozobots for coding is hands-on and fun which will also allow use to integrate patterns and geometry. Students will be able to access all components of our STEAM curriculum. The Ozobot can be used in Science and Mathematics every day instruction. Students will be connect real-world problem-solving and critical thinking with using the Technology and designing computer programs for the Engineering side of project-based learning.
This is the next step in their discovery of computer programming and preparing for computer science courses on the next level.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
