My Project
Our technology classes offerings continue to get bigger and better every year, and now we're going to take learning to new heights (bad pun intended) with a fleet of ten drones! Students will program these drones using Blockly and Python. Blockly is a visual coding environment that will teach coding fundamentals before our kids progress to writing their own Python code and delve deeper into computer science.
By using drones to teach coding concepts, we're going to provide an unforgettable hands-on learning experience that absolutely will engage and excite all of our deserving students!
These drones will also be used with multiple grades, so that virtually everyone will have their turn to participate in this bold new venture for our school.
With your help, even children who might otherwise take an interest in computer science will learn to love it by seeing the tangible results of their code as they watch their drones spin and twirl acrobatically in the air while flashing their colorful lights in intricate patterns. Your generosity can help us to teach literally hundreds of kids! I thank you for reading this far and sincerely hope that you'll consider helping me to make this happen.
More than half of students from low‑income households
