My Students

Our students are excited by hands on learning. They excel at project based learning and show great initiative and gains when they are able to create things. The school is centralized in an urban neighborhood. The majority of the population in the neighborhood and at our school are at or below the poverty line. With that said, these projects have been some of the most dynamic technology projects that they have been exposed.

The students of this school are working hard on developing their basic educational skills and simultaneously expanding their ability to solve problems in both the abstract and real world.

These technology projects allow students to go through experimentation procedures, follow directions, play and create designs that come to life right before their eyes. Our students love these technology project based learning projects.

My Project

Last year, I had great success initiating a Little Bits Technology Club at our school. We had so much success that my principal modified our school schedule so that I can have longer chunks of time with students in order to further develop project based learning.

With these littleBits and Gizmos kits, students are going to be making real world connections with science, technology, engineering, art and math lessons.

We are going to create a channel for product reviews, QR code reports, and stop animation videos. With these additional aspects of learning, students will see how engineering affects the world around us.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
