Luck of the Draw

My students need pen tablets for precision and expeditious formation of images and backgrounds when developing their computer games.

My Students

Have you ever tried to draw something in a paint program? It is very difficult and time consuming to get your images to the perfection that you desire. Skills will be more accurately displayed if given the opportunity to work with a pen tablet to develop a more professionally designed game.

My students are accelerated and gifted students that are in a computer design course for enrichment in math and science.

They are dedicated and strive to learn and grow daily. The computer design course involves research, creativity, and development of a computer game which incorporates a social issue and a math concept. The students are compassionate about their social issues and want to share their information with the global community.

My Project

The main hindrance in our classroom is time constraints. The pen tablet will help develop characters and backgrounds in a timely fashion so we have more time for the construction and coding of our games. We will be able to develop more scenes and levels with the extra time that we will gain with this ease of preparation. Students will be able to learn more about developing animation and be able to incorporate more of their social issue research into their games. The pen tablets will help students obtain the absolute most superlative experience in game development.

Donations will impact the lives of 15 exceptional students and one dedicated teacher.

The pen tablet will help us develop more efficient learning games that will impact the lives of many middle school children. It will also help us depict our ideas and the importance of many social issues along with math concept practice. Many lives will be impacted by donating to the implementation of two simple pen tablets.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
