My students need replacement keyboards for our Dell Latitude E5430. We also need Chromebooks to replace some laptops that are no longer functioning.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Sidarous's classroom raised $1,002
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
Our students work hard to create all sorts of digital projects; lab reports, research projects and programming tasks. We use laptop carts daily for these tasks.
Like many schools, we have limited resources, with a very limited number of computers shared with the entire school.
Our students have very little background knowledge in the area of computers, and the majority do not have Internet-connected computers at home. Despite these barriers, our students are enthusiastic learners who are excited about gaining computer literacy and basic programming skills. Our district is one of the first in the nation to require ALL high school students to take a Computer Science course for graduation. We have been piloting this course for two years, and the students who have taken it have learned a great deal. Some have even gone on to pursue postsecondary study in Computer Science. In Computer Science class, we learn about programming as well as doing computer art projects.
My Project
We have been using Dell Latitude E5430 laptops for several years. These laptops are well loved and have been used for a variety of educational purposes. Over time, some of these laptops have been reduced to a less than optimal physical state. We need new keyboards to restore these to prime usability. We also need Chromebooks to replace the computers that are completely broken.
My students will have an opportunity to practice science with laboratory techniques requiring computers for data collection.
My students will be able to create art in many subjects, including math and computer science. My students will be able to do computer modeling of complex phenomena using these Chromebooks. Ultimately, this will help our students succeed in postsecondary study and in life!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
