My Project

It is challenging to keep up with the latest advancements in education to spark an interest in core subject areas in my students. Education is ever changing and so is technology.

In my tech classes, I am preparing our students for the future.

I'm preparing them for future jobs that don't even exist yet. Many of my students in my classroom have learned to enjoy coding and the problem solving aspect of print communications in computer science.

My school does not have any way of teaching computer science to all students, so this Cricut machine will help all students able to code designs and interact together to learn. This machine will help hold their interests, teach print communication standards, and engage all students in my classroom.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention, engagement, and focus, but you will ultimately be helping to create equity using technology and increase their academic achievement.

Students who learn to problem solve will be successful in any profession they choose! Helping students begin to learn that prepares them for the future. Technology can be a gateway and help students build skills for success. My students will love getting to be part of whole class instruction and being able to collaborate together.
