FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Merino's classroom raised $519

My Project

Coding on a smartphone? Ok. Coding on a laptop? Better. But coding on a tablet? The best! With their own (shared) Samsung Galaxy Tablets, students will be able to engage in coding activities with multiple robots, simultaneously. No more fears of dropping phones, no more fears of messing up teacher laptops!

My students will have more opportunities for hands-on coding practice, become more comfortable with taking coding risks, and overcome all the challenges they encounter.

I aim to support our students in engaging with tablets in a productive way. We can extend this learning into the home because many families have tablets at home that we can communicate through and suggest applications that their children will be able to instantaneously navigate.

We are excited about expanding and maximizing STEM and coding opportunities for our students!
