My Project

We are requesting classroom kits of Micro bit to help expand the technology experience of students. These materials will afford my students the opportunity to expand beyond the keyboard and make their coding more applicable. Applied knowledge can greatly increase students' level of awareness and appreciation for how their world works while broadening their career outlook. I teach 6-8th grade students.

My 8th-grade students are learning as much as they can about technology specifically computer programming.

It's great to see them enjoy computer technology because that's the world they live in and need to be prepared for.
