The students who attend my high school are very similar to the students who I grew up with - they each have their own challenges but for the most part, want to do the right thing. They have a real love of technology but the school is severely lacking in the technology to get them to the next level.
Our school serves students in grades 9-12 and provides rigorous academics, fantastic teachers and a safe learning environment.
The students are diverse in every sense of the word.
My Project
AP Computer Science students have programming projects that require them to code outside of class time. Unfortunately some of the students do not have access to computers at home. I would like to create a laptop loaner program to give all students the opportunity to succeed with computer science.
Computer Science is a very important skill for the future, but not having access to computers can hamper students' learning.
All students have the right to learn and with these two laptops, students will have access to 21st century learning. Students will be able to borrow these laptops to work on their projects at home to create an equitable playing field.
