My students are learners first and foremost. They want to learn about this, that, and whatever I can teach them. They adhere to my philosophy of getting the most out of education that you can while it's still free! So many of my students experience the "opportunity gap" and without support from generous funders like you will not have a chance to experience things in school that others their age are experiencing simply based on the zip code they live in. Social justice and educational equity are just two of the reasons why I do what I do for a living!
Middle and high school students absorb all sorts of knowledge on a daily basis.
It's my job to ensure that what they are learning is relevant and current to the real world that they will soon be out navigating on their own! Additionally, middle school students explore their curiosities on a daily basis and I want to lead them down a path where they value the educational process and actively seek out new and innovative learning experiences!
My Project
Several of my students are taking part in a national design program known as Project Invent. They are working with a community member in need and trying to help them problem solve their given need through the process of design and invention.
In one case, the students are helping a current classmate with a disability, and in another case, the students are helping an alumnus of the school who has a brain disease.
One requirement of the project is that there needs to be some sort of technology involved. Having these Arduino materials will allow the students to become familiar with a new system, and one that has proven to be easy to work with for most students. Will you help us change the future and change the world?!?
