My Project
What I love most about my students is their curiosity and creativity. They come to class eager to learn, full of questions, and ready to take on challenges—even when resources are limited. Many of them have never had the chance to write code or build apps before, but they approach each lesson with enthusiasm and determination. Watching them develop confidence as they bring their ideas to life is the most rewarding part of my job.
Each Android tablet will provide my students with the opportunity to test and interact with the mobile apps they are developing using MIT App Inventor.
This hands-on testing is crucial for learning how real-world apps work, identifying and fixing bugs, and improving app performance based on user feedback. It will also help students better understand the connection between the code they write and the way it functions on a real device.
These tablets will turn abstract ideas into tangible outcomes. With your support, my students won’t just be learning about app development—they’ll be doing it, every day, like real developers. This will make their learning experience more engaging, relevant, and empowering.
