Elevating Learning to New Heights

Help me give my students a 21st century learning experience with the latest technology gadgets to learn with.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Bernstein's classroom raised $991

My Students

My students are part of the Academy of Information Technology, a four-year Information technology program. Students learn Introduction to Information Technology (Year 1), Digital Media (Year 2), Web Design (Year 3), and AP Computer Science Principles (Year 4).

We are a STEM / STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) school.

Currently, the Academy of IT has just under 200 students in grades 9-12. More than half of my students are from low-income households. My classroom infuses STEM / STEAM into the curriculum to allow students to have cross-curriculum instruction that incorporates their core subject areas.

My Project

Our project is to request a drone so we can make an Academy Trailer to recruit students to our school and academy. With the pandemic everything has moved to a virtual world. With this drone we will be able to create an engaging and cinematic video. The drone will also be used in classroom instruction to show students the power of technology, how to properly and safely operate a drone, the mathematical concepts of geometry being brought to life by using an XYZ axis, and different angles in which to take videos and pictures.

I love supporting student learning in a fun, engaging, and 21st century way.
