My Project
In New Orleans, we are striving to be good in our STEM subjects. My students come from an underserved population. I need to ensure their progress to become independent thinkers so they can be an asset to their community. I have the best job in the world, to make a difference. Each day, I have the privilege of instructing students in core subjects. I want them to solve real life problems and come up with solutions for daily problem-solving.
We need the Finch microbits for learning coding and becoming well versed in STEM subjects using problem solving math skills these The Finch is a programmable robot that brings computer science to life by providing students from kindergarten to sixth grade a hands-on representation of their code.
The Finch STEM coding program will be very useful for our boys and girls who are struggling to learn coding in STEM and have lagged behind because of Covid
It will spark their imaginations, while they are having fun at school and learning coding skills to succeed.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
