Help me give my students resources to engage computational thinking and creativity by having the Code & Go Robot Mouse Set along with workbooks for Scratch and a beginners coding book.

My Students
The students at this school come from different socio-economic levels and do not always have something positive in their lives to help encourage them to reach beyond the boundaries of the box they are living in. When they do try to reach out, it is usually with the help of other students and adults at school, so this is where we try to allow each student to have an opportunity to find the path to enable them to do so.
At our school, we continuously strive to provide meaningful positive moments to enhance and strengthen each student's reach from within socio-economic boundaries.
My Project
All of these materials will be used to help students understand how coding and their thought processes go hand-in-hand. We'll use the First Coding book to introduce students to coding, then move along to the Code & Go Robot Mouse set for students to work in groups and help each other learn the process. Afterwards, we'll introduce the students to Scratch and how they can take what they've learned from the discussions from the book read and activity set and apply it to their own creative journey in using Scratch.
Each of the three resources asked for in this project is dependant on the other, as they will be used in an orderly process to initiate a beginning understanding or depth of knowledge each student has for coding.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
