Empowering STEM: Education Raspberry Pi Classroom Integration

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Spreng's classroom raised $980

My Project

I'm requesting funding to introduce Raspberry Pi computers into our classroom. Amid pandemic-related education losses, this initiative bridges gaps by fostering interactive STEM learning. Raspberry Pis facilitate coding, robotics, and hands-on projects, revitalizing student engagement. Our curriculum still uses micro:bits and Raspberry Pis are more age-appropriate tools for our high school students. Students will be able to learn how to set a system up, secure it, and program with it. They will also be able to hook their Chromebooks/Raspberry Pis up to monitors using the adapters/cords. By equipping students with tech skills, we mitigate pandemic-induced educational setbacks and cultivate future innovators.

Your support will enable equitable access to quality STEM education, bridging the learning deficit while preparing students for tech-driven careers and a technology-driven future.
