Students will gain 21st Century skills empowering them to develop their STEM abilities. We will expand our coding instruction through the use of the Dash and Dot Wonder Pack to promote analytical thinking and reasoning through computer coding applications. Students will teach learned skills to younger students as part of their ongoing buddy projects. Students were introduced to coding this year through code.org, in which I have been trained. Coding has been incorporated into their math and science curriculum in order to demonstrate how the skills they learn now will apply to projected employment opportunities. Historically, individuals from high poverty backgrounds envision themselves unemployable in STEM based careers. Our goal is to break this ideology by providing materials and access to technology and programs geared towards encouraging STEM skill development. Students are being taught not only how to code, but how to teach and engage younger buddies to embrace their own STEM abilities. By teaching younger students what they have learned, students are building their own confidence and abilities in STEM fields. STEM instruction includes all learning levels and allows students to recognize those abilities and strengths in others.
