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 Students

My students are special to me because they are dedicated, excited, and eager learners. I would like for my students to have access to more technology in the instructional classroom.

My students are in a rural area school district.

My students receive free and reduced-price school lunches. Technology is limited to most of our students and we are in need of many classroom resources for instructional time. STEM education is very important in my class and I would like to offer this learning to all my students.

My Project

The following items selected would provide my students with the opportunity to engage in more hands-on learning through STEM!

Because we are a rural school and have access to limited resources to expose our students in STEM education, this project would help to expose and engage my students in STEM learning.

We have a robotics team and this will help to motivate more students to have an interest in being part of this awesome team. Students will also benefit from the coding and exposure in robotics design. Because we compete in the local robotics competition, this classroom project will allow students to be familiar with coding and building engineering process.
