My Students
We are a Title I school where 100% of my students receive a free breakfast, lunch, and snack. Many of my students are the recipients of food bags on the weekends as well as other resources to meet their needs. Even though they are 5 and 6 - many of my kiddos are faced with challenges beyond what I can ever imagine.
My students come to school ready to work, learn, and grow their brains despite anything else that may be going on in their lives.
My Project
We love learning through the use of technology. However, our classroom does not have the amount of technology we need to support a small group.
I want to help level the playing field of STEM for my students by providing a technologically advanced classroom.
Having such a reinforcing tool in our class will help increase engagement and participation. I can also customize each activity on the tablets to the needs of each student.
Based on the statistics provided by the National Science Foundation - women make up half of the total U.S. college-educated workforce, but only 29% of the science and engineering workforce. In 2013, 70% of workers in science and engineering occupations were white. By donating these tablets, you are helping my students find their place in the world of STEM - a place that can often be exclusive and elitist. I want every child to have the chance to explore that opportunity - regardless of their race or gender.
“What I wanted was for them to have a grand, sweeping narrative that they deserved, the kind of American history that belongs to the Wright Brothers and the astronauts, to Alexander Hamilton and Martin Luther King Jr. Not told as a separate history, but as part of the story we all know. Not at the margins, but at the very center, the protagonists of the drama. And not just because they are black, or because they are women, but because they are part of the American epic.”
More than a third 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
