My students are in need of a laptop that can be used for computer science activities.
Wendy Koop, founder of Teach for America, states, "Ensuring that our nation's urban and rural children have the chance to become proficient in computer science is a sure way to set them on a trajectory to great career options.
We need to do this to close the digital divide and level the playing field."
We need to create ambitious computer programming superheroes of tomorrow who will strive to achieve in all areas of technology. We need to break the barriers and "level the playing field," by encouraging young girls to pursue careers in this field. We need all young children to become active participants in this digital world. The laptop will allow students to learn about computer science. Let's welcome in my students’ back to school year with a sparkling Chromebook. I believe coding literacy is a path for everyone. Let's make my vision of creating computer programming superheroes of tomorrow.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
