My Students

Students in my school come from a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds. Five years ago we changed the focus of our high-poverty school to be STEM and project-based learning. This focus has made all the difference for our students! They are inquisitive, deep-thinking, enthusiastic, problem-solving students who love to learn!

Our goal is to create an environment where students can develop their thinking skills to be prepared for STEM careers, or challenges they may encounter in any career.

Through project-based learning opportunities, they investigate and explore. They learn how to brainstorm, plan, cooperate with others, communicate, design, re-design, and share their learning. We are developing a culture of problem-solving and learning.

My Project

Our school offers many after-school opportunities for students to continue their learning. One of our clubs, Coder's Club, is bursting at the seams! We currently have 85 students working on programming skills, and learning how to code.

The students are not only working on their programming and problem solving skills, but they are also learning entry level robotics.

We have many students interested in taking the next step in programming, but we currently are sharing one EV3, and students have to rotate through as a small group working on it.

Providing more resources for our Coder's Club will allow more students to delve into deeper problem solving and programming opportunities. Our goal is to use these resources to give the students more time in developing their skills and pursuing their interests.
