My Students

Students come to my class daily wondering what we will be doing today. They love to get their hands on the engineering and technology tools and concepts that we are learning.

50% of our students live at or below the poverty level, and many come from single parent families.

School data shows that we are gaining more economically disadvantaged students each year, and we are currently not receiving Title I funds to support them. Our student population is pretty diverse with about 30% of our students being white, 30% being Hispanic, 30% being African-American, 4% Asian, 4% mixed race, and the other 2% representing other cultural backgrounds. These students thirst to learn about skills that they might not otherwise get to experience and our classroom mission is to provide these learning opportunities.

In my classroom we use robots, computers, and everyday items to teach concepts in engineering, the engineering design process, AutoCAD, and other topics of interest to students. Our goal is to provide students with a head start on high school courses that they might find interesting and perhaps help guide them to career interests if college is not in their future.

My Project

Students need to learn new skills and experience hands on learning activities that are exciting and engaging. In this case students will use the circuit kits to learn how circuits work, learn how the flow of power can be controlled, and learn how circuits are soldered onto circuit boards.

Student learning of skills through hands on making and tinkering is a powerful tool in education.

All of the materials we are requesting will go a long way towards giving my students these experiences. From building the strongest bridges to learning how to solder circuit boards, they will be engaged learners.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
