My Project

As Barack Obama states, "Computers are going to be part a big part of our future ... and that future is yours to shape."

As educators, it is our responsibility to prepare our students to be productive members of the twenty-first century in the field of computer science.

I teach a dynamic bunch of enthusiastic and creative fourth-grade students who will prepare for a bright future. As part of the Lunar New Year, my students would love a Chromebook to do research to learn more about Lunar New Year. They would also love to code Lunar New Year activities on Scratch.

Hardi Partovi states, "And so in this day and age, computer science is no longer just vocational for getting a job, in this day and age, computer science is completely foundational for any job you may want to have in the next 20 to thirty years. And so the real question is, can our public education system evolve?"

This quote resonates with me because as supporters of our students' future, we need to embrace technology head-on and enable our public education system to continue to evolve.

My students will use this Chromebook to learn about the Lunar New Year. Students will learn about this cultural holiday and its significance in history.

My students need a Chromebook to complete a research project on Lunar New Year. We need to teach children how to get computers to do unusual things like coding a computer to make music, inventing new things, and sharing our creations with the world. Computers play a vital role in the technology industry. We need to put our students in the "driver's seat" as they become innovators and entrepreneurs of tomorrow.
