Fire Breathing SD Cards for RaspberryPI

My students need SD cards for Raspberry PI kits that they will get to take home. If you help my students will be able to play with Linux, Python, and Raspberry PIs.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

I have 56 smart, energetic students. Many come from challenging backgrounds. Many struggle in the traditional school environment. I get them for 3 AWESOME hours every day and we are learning Mechatronics Engineering... In other word, FIRE Breathing Robots. They all get very excited when we dive into coding, programming, building robots, and other Electronic or Mechanical Engineering topics.

But only a few out of my 56 students have ever used a Raspberry PI (small linux computer) and I would like to change that, so they can have one at home to keep.

My Project

I have an opportunity to provide my students with a Raspberry Pi that they can take home and work with outside of class. For most, my class is the first time they have coded, learned Linux, or played with electronics. With your help they will be able to extend their learning by having a small python capable Linux computer at home.

We need a 32GB MicroSD card for each student for their RaspberryPI, which will let them learn Python, Linux, and electronic hardware AT HOME.

I have a Raspberry PI for each student, but need a 32GB microSD card to make them work. I'm going to let the students take these home... so they get to keep them forever.
