My Students
My students come from low-income backgrounds. They do not have the opportunity to experience very much technology outside of the classroom. I have made it a goal of mine to introduce as much technology as possible to them so they may have a well-rounded education prior to entering the real world as young adults.
Our school is a community that serves many military families from the Little Rock Air Force base.
We try to tie in how engineers have a role to play in the military as well as civilian life. This gives my students the ability to see how engineering could help them later in life even if they choose to follow in their parents' footsteps.
My students love hands-on activities and projects. About 90% of my class is project-based learning. This creates enthusiasm in the classroom and allows students to learn through experiences and not just direct instruction.
My Project
My students are needing AA and AAA batteries to power our micro:bit micro controllers. These micro controllers are how my students will learn programming and the various sensors used in robotics. To power our servos and motors we need a large amount of AA batteries to make it for the full year.
We also need micro SD cards to document our projects so that we can share them through our social media and make digital notebooks.
We use the various SanDisk SD cards throughout the year in our drones and Go Pro cameras so that we can record our progress.
More than half of students from low‑income households
