My Students

Computer programming is a necessary skill for the future. However, students in lower income communities often have limited access to computers and the Internet.

We are a transfer school in Manhattan that accepts students who have persevered through difficult situations that may have caused other students to drop out.

They often come to us with little or no experience using the computer. Some do not even know how to send an email or type a paragraph. By the end of their time in our school, students are writing research papers that are a minimum of ten pages in length and are presenting their findings to teachers, non-classroom educators, and professionals in the community.

My Project

We are trying to eventually have a class set of computers so that every student can have his or her own laptop to use in class. I am requesting 2 Chromebooks in this proposal so that even more students can independently work on computer programming both in class and at home. These computers would be allowed to be checked loaned to students overnight so that they can have a computer to use at home. While students are not allowed to take school-bought computers home to use to type papers, they are allowed to take these home in order to complete their work. This is why it is essential to acquire these computers through programs like DonorsChoose. Students can accomplish a lot of work at school, but they also need the resources to complete work at home. All of the computers that I have ever checked out to students for home use have always been returned on time and in proper working condition.

Supplying students with the materials they need in order to be successful is essential to their success.

I thank you in advance for even reading this proposal. I offer even more gratitude if you choose to make a difference in our community by making the decision to donate!
