My Project

Computer literacy is no longer desirable in the modern workforce it’s a prerequisite. Computer skills are necessary for various careers like medicine or education. That is why introducing them to the use of laptops in the kindergarten classroom is wise for a child’s future. It sets a strong foundation for the digital skills they will need.

I want to help them continue to develop cognitively and learn to enhance their problem solving skills.

I want to foster their creativity and learn to devise strategies for success. But more than that, I want to help them close their learning gaps by creating access that has been denied them through the digital divide.
