My Project

This proposal seeks funding to purchase a collection of books on coding and 3D modeling for my middle and high school students. As a dedicated educator, I am always looking for ways to provide my students with the resources they need to succeed. These books will be used to supplement and extend their learning, providing them with additional opportunities to explore and develop their skills in coding and 3D modeling.

My students are highly motivated and eager to learn, and I believe that these resources will be invaluable in helping them to achieve their full potential.

The books selected range across all difficulty levels, so that all students can benefit from their use.

Coding and 3D modeling are essential skills for the 21st century, regardless of the career path a student chooses. These skills are in high demand across a wide range of industries, including technology, engineering, architecture, and even the arts. Learning to code and create 3D models will give students the ability to solve problems and think critically, skills that are valuable in any field.
