My Students

I teach at a public charter school that has grades PreK - 8. Many of the students grow up together through elementary and middle school. There is a huge sense of community with my school.

The students are brilliant kids and are sponges when it comes to new information.

I want to foster their curiosity and help prepare them for the world outside of the school. My students are more engaged to learn new technologies when they are able to use a more hands-on approach.

My Project

My students have been learning how to code via online coding programs. I want them to see other ways they can learn how to code. With large retail companies using drones to deliver products to homes, why not get them interested in it now by using drones. Students can learn STEM skills from an aerial perspective.

My students can build on their critical thinking skills and problem-solving skills by working on projects that will push them to persevere and work with other.

Students will think they are playing with "toys" when they are actually learning skills needed for computer science jobs in the future.
