My Project

Our project aims to revolutionize learning by providing students with hands-on access to programming and physical computing through the use of specific items like the Adafruit Circuit Playground Expresses. These items will significantly enhance their learning experience by maximizing their time engaging directly with the circuit playgrounds. Moreover, they will allow students to check out the playgrounds and work on projects outside of class, fostering continuous learning and exploration.

Our goals for this project are deeply rooted in providing equitable educational opportunities for our students.

As our small community experiences rapid growth, our school population has doubled in size, presenting challenges in resources and infrastructure. With this project, we aim to bridge the gap and ensure that our students have access to the same high-quality learning experiences as those in larger schools. By offering access to programming and physical computing, we empower our students to compete on par with their counterparts in larger institutions, thereby strengthening our community's educational standing.

What makes our students special is their resilience and determination in the face of challenges. Many of them have grown up in a small rural community, where resources are limited and infrastructural development struggles to keep pace with population growth. Despite these obstacles, our students exhibit a remarkable eagerness to learn and a hunger for opportunities. They deserve every chance to thrive academically and professionally, and it is our mission to provide them with the tools and experiences necessary for success. Through this project, we strive to level the playing field and ensure that every student, regardless of their background or circumstances, has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
