My Students

Kids are craving more! I keep seeing that, when given the opportunity, they want to take on new challenges. They want to collaborate, use their hands, their imagination, and their academic knowledge to solve problems. Throughout the day, I teach 80 students, while incorporating creative ideas to engage and challenge them.

I try to do everything I can to meet students where they are and empower them to become all they are capable of being.

We have been one of the top Title I schools over the past few years in student growth and performance. We qualify as a Title I school because many of our students receive free or reduced-price lunch due to low socioeconomic status. Despite some of their struggles in life, they deserve to have free, student-centered opportunities that help mold them toward future careers of interest.

My Project

My students are craving opportunities to collaborate, showcase their creativity, and challenge themselves in ways they have never experienced. We have some LEGO robots, but with the recent excitement into our robotics class, we have more students than the amount of robots to support them.

With your support in getting us two more LEGO robots, my students can have proper small-group opportunities to engage themselves in the hands-on experience of building, coding, and testing.

There are a lot of opportunities to learn about coding online, but nothing as authentic as the opportunity you would be providing these kids. The activities that they would experience will teach them all about coding in a meaningful way and bring a much needed joy to their lives.
