My students need the Osmo Genuis Kit and the Osmo Coding Set to introduce them to new and exciting ways to interact with technology.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Rusek's classroom raised $394
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
I teach kindergarten students at a high-poverty school in New York City. My students are curious and have a great thirst for knowledge. My students do not have many learning resources at home and are faced with many challenges inside and outside of the classroom.
Despite these many challenges, I want to provide them with a classroom full of technology.
This is so important for a technology-filled society that we live in and it can benefit my students so much.
My Project
We live in a society filled with technology and its an important skill to know and have. I want to give my students that knowledge, to think creatively and to have a jump start into our tech-filled world.
The newest Osmo game, Coding, teaches logic skills and problem solving, and it helps kids succeed in an increasingly digital world.
Students control Awbie, a playful character who loves delicious strawberries. With each coding command, they guide Awbie on a wondrous adventure!
Its important to create tech-savvy students. Students are required to use higher-order thinking and problem solving skills in the classroom. I believe that the Osmo gaming system will enhance my students' learning and allow them to meet educational demands.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
