Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

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 Project

I teach an inspiring group of young women at an urban inner-city high school. Despite facing numerous challenges, these resilient students are passionate about learning and are eager to break barriers in the tech industry. All of my students are racial minorities, and they are determined to succeed in a field where they are significantly underrepresented.

I want to transform our computer science classroom into a dynamic, flexible working space that mirrors the innovative environments found in leading tech companies.

By providing comfortable seating and collaborative workspaces, I want to create an atmosphere that inspires creativity, teamwork, and a sense of belonging in computer science.

Our school is under-resourced, and my students often lack access to the facilities that can make a real difference in their education and future careers. By contributing to this project, you will help us purchase ergonomic beanbags to create a modern, inviting classroom environment.

Your donation will do more than just buy furniture. It will empower my students to see themselves as future tech leaders. They will experience firsthand what it's like to work in an environment designed to foster innovation and creativity. This project will help combat the underrepresentation of women and minorities in the tech field by providing my students with the tools and environment they need to thrive and develop innovative solutions to real-world problems.

By supporting this project, you are investing in the future of tech. You are helping to level the playing field for these talented young women and giving them the confidence and resources to pursue their dreams in computer science. Thank you for considering our project and for making a difference in the lives of my students.
