My Students

Gone are the days of transparencies and simple overhead projectors. Our students need exposure to current technology (for example - wide screen projectors) to be competitive in today's society. Students need to be given concrete examples from a easy to see display so that they can practice skills.

We are a campus of diverse students (30% African American, 30% Hispanic, 30% Caucasian) working to build strong technological foundations for our future.

We are active exploring electronics and programming with after-school programs that are voluntary. We are very active in theater, sports, art, and other extracurricular endeavors. We typically find technology fascinating but need some help financially to acquiring items that corporations use today. We see the benefits of technology in every facet of our academic pursuits. We will be the future doctors, engineers, lawyers, and teacher for this area and beyond.

My Project

Using the updated equipment, over 200 students will be able to get real-world examples in every class period. Students need positive examples of how to use technology for research and instructional delivery. Having a bright, well-defined example that all can see will increase student engagement and performance. It might even be a little fun!

I have seen such a great difference in the interest in computing since the Electronics grant we acquired.

Students will try something new, take "good" risks, and enjoy what they are doing. Bottom line, students feel empowered when they have the right tools at the right time.
