Help me give my students two Artie 3000 robots and a Mini iPad 4 so that my students will have a future career in a world that has a shortage of skilled coders.

A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
I teach second graders in one of the best rural schools in Oklahoma! My students are amazing, inquisitive, and eager-to-learn. Although some may have difficult lives, my students come to school with smiles on their faces. They are supportive and cheer each other to success. Half of them go to Title I Reading, thirty minutes every day, for extra help.
My students are special because they have curiosity, creativity, compassion, and positive attitudes.
They are leaders who show love, compassion, kindness, and bravery. They are truly amazing people. My school is wonderfully supportive of the active, hands-on learning that we do in our classroom. I couldn't ask for a better environment for these students. We are truly a community!
My Project
In my classroom, there are two siblings whose house burned during our last freeze. They lost everything. In Chris Confer’s book Teaching Number Sense (Math Solutions Publications, 2005), the children are asked to figure out how many cookies they need for a class treat. I will modify this lesson and incorporate our Artie 3000 robots and iPad mini. We will talk about how and why we need food to keep us healthy (five food groups). My students will each figure out how many nonperishable food items it will take to feed a family of 4 for a week (that is how many people are in my students’ family). Then my students will use this mini iPad and code Artie 3000 to draw small shapes ( squares, circles) that represent each family member and non-perishable food item. Each food group will have to be present at every meal. There will be three meals each day for 7 days. The Otterbox case is needed to protect the mini iPad.
After my students use this mini iPad to code our Artie 3000 robots, we will decide what food we can collect for our classmates that will feed them for a week.
Each food group will be represented at each meal. We will then collect that food to send home with them.
These Artie 3000 robots and mini iPad may be used to teach my students science, technology, math and a future as a programmer, but they will also teach my students compassion and how we can solve a problem that is happening in our classroom.
