I love how creative, thoughtful, and imaginative my students are. They come from a wide range of backgrounds and bring unique perspectives to class. Many are experiencing the excitement of exploring their passions for the first time, and I want to give them the tools to dream big and build real-world skills along the way.
With fast-working Chromebooks, students will move through engaging units: understanding video game design, exploring the psychology of player motivation and behavior, learning basic business and marketing strategies, and finally, creating their own video game concept.
These devices will allow them to research, design, collaborate, and present their ideas without the limitations of outdated technology.
This project is about more than technology — it’s about empowering students to see themselves as designers, marketers, and innovators. With your support, they’ll gain confidence, strengthen essential skills, and have fun doing it.
Half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
