My Students

I serve one hundred and sixty-three amazing, ninth grade students at a public school in Oakland. My students come from diverse backgrounds, and many speak English as their second language. According to high-schools.com, ninety-nine point eight percent of our students receive free or reduced price lunch. I believe that all students should have the opportunity to learn computer science regardless of background or previous life experience. In our computer science course, students are learning how to understand and solve complex problems, how computers affect our society and the way humans interact with each other and technology, and how to code websites from scratch with HTML and CSS. This course is meant to be rigorous, yet accessible for all students, and aims to inspire students to pursue computer science by making learning interactive and fun.

My Project

My goal is to make Computer Science interactive and give students the opportunity to experiment with technology to make learning meaningful, collaborative and interactive. Raspberry Pi kits are an amazing tool to allow students to engage in hands-on and project-based learning, solve complex problems, and learn computer science in a meaningful and concrete way. I am often impressed at what students can accomplish when given support and a safe space to create.

All students need an opportunity to use cutting edge technology and experience success with computer science to inspire them to pursue educational or career opportunities in the STEM fields.

Many students do not have opportunities outside of school to interact with technology. Thank-you to any donors!
