Help Students Be Seated for Success

My students need new desk chairs in the computer coding lab.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Grimes's classroom raised $1,220

This project is fully funded

My Students

Let's give our students a boost, literally! My students need a comfortable place to sit while they are learning to code. Coding is challenging and requires concentration. The chairs we currently have in the lab have frankly, seen better days and are in need of replacement.

My students are motivated to learn and create coding projects of their own.

Our School is a public charter school who's mission is to partner with parents to inspire each student to think critically, communicate effectively, and achieve success by providing academic options.

My Project

Comfort equates to concentration and concentration equates to good code. New chairs would make for a comfortable learning environment for my students. This year, we plan to tackle 3D printing, building small robots, dissecting computers, creating websites, and coding small games. We cannot hope to accomplish these things standing up, in most cases. We need seats to accomplish these great feats.

These chairs would be just what my students need.

We recently lost two chairs to breakage and are in danger of loosing a couple more. We have been using folding chairs to accommodate for the loss, when necessary, but they are just not adequate for working on the computer comfortably. Please, help our students be seated for success. Help us put new chairs in the lab.
