My Students

My students are wonderful and creative and they deserve the best I can offer them.

The neighborhood where my students live is largely made up of recent immigrants; most of my students were born in America to immigrant parents.

They come from all over the world, but especially South Asia. They are curious and eager to learn and can't wait to excel.

My students love technology and I feel that one of my biggest responsibilities is to teach them how to use it safely and responsibly.

My Project

I teach several technology elective classes, and this list of items will each of my students a little bit of what they need to succeed. The 360-degree camera will provide much-needed support to students learning about VR. The Raspberry Pi items will thrill my physical computing students as they thinker and code their Raspberry Pi computers. Video students will learn from one of the great filmmakers of the 20th century, Alfred Hitchcock. The multi-tool will help me clean and prepare 3D printed objects for my students.

No matter which of my elective classes a student enjoys, these items will help them along their learning journey.
