My students need a classroom set of licenses to the Introduction to Coding in Python program to help them to prepare for their educational and career paths!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Garcia'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
My high school's students are a diverse group that need access to a creative learning environment. Their access to computers to learn coding and to develop computational thinking skills is limited. As a school, we are trying to introduce computer science in high school to give them a taste of potential college and career pathways. Our students need access to computer coding curriculum, software, and hardware. The school my students attend is a District 75 high school, which is a Title One school where all students receive free meals. Most of my students come from low-income households and their only access to technology is through a smart phone or school computers.
My Project
My students have an immense interest in technology and how to create/use it.
The Introduction to Coding in Python curriculum will help my students stay on top of the ever-evolving field of computer science and computer coding.
The licenses will help introduce my students to the computer language "Python" through an interactive computer-based curriculum. At the beginning of the year I conducted a survey and discovered about 90% of my students do not have computers at home and the only program they consistently use is Facebook on their phones. I want my students to explore computers and computer language/coding to give them access to educational programs that can develop college ready skills.
Nearly all 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
