Aspiring Coders Need an Equipment Upgrade!

My students need a memory upgrade for the computers in our technology lab so that we can continue to grow as technologists and engineers!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Reininga's classroom raised $659

This project is fully funded

My Students

"Who are we? We are STEM!" This is how our students begin each morning- chanting, dancing, and enthusiastically affirming our belief that we can accomplish ANYTHING we decide to work hard towards! We know that to accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream!

As the only STEM school in Manhattan, our students are scientists, technologists, engineers, and mathematicians who dream of someday changing the world.

The students of STEM investigate and solve real world problems while developing social and emotional strength- this will prepare them to make a difference in the world. We believe that all kids are capable of success, NO Exceptions!

My Project

Our brilliant K-5 students are budding technologists have so much potential! We need a memory upgrade for our computer labs so that our outdated computers can keep up with the blazing speed of our students' minds! A memory upgrade for our computers will satisfy our students' voracious appetites for learning. We need enough memory so that we can run computer-assisted design programs, coding programs, etc. in our K-5 technology lab. This upgrade will benefit all of our K-5 students this year, and for many years to come! With your generous help, our ambitious learners can not only succeed, but SOAR!
