My Students
My students are largely Haitian immigrants or first generation Americans. They come from low-income homes with all of them eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. They are sometimes limited to a school-home routine with little or no opportunities to experience anything outside of those places.
Some of the students have never experienced things that other children may take for granted, such as owning a computer and internet, going to a theme park or traveling to another state or country.
They need to see that the world is more than what is between the walls of their home and the fences of their school.
My Project
Earlier this year Google had an opportunity for the students to try coding. My class did it but it took a long time to complete and some students missed the opportunity to complete the project due to the limited number of computers in the classroom.
These laptops will allow a greater number of the students in my class to complete another coding project that they will be doing later on this school year.
The students are very interested in coding and I want to get the opportunity to start developing and understanding and a familiarity with at least the basics of coding.
More than half of students from low‑income households
