Samsung Solve For Tomorrow Laptops and Notebooks

Help me give my students Samsung Notebook 9 Laptops and Samsung Tab A tablets.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Rector's classroom raised $19,436

This project is fully funded

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

We are requesting Samsung Notebook 9 Laptops and Samsung Tab A tablets to help us with our computer science and app development classes. We will be using these devices to program the Microbit devices we are requesting. The Tab A tablets will be used to test the apps that students are developing.

We also are requesting Makita tools to help bring our designs from CAD software to actually creating the items we are designing.

We plan to design bird houses and dog houses using CAD software and then use the tools to actually bring those items to life. We plan to donate those items after we build them.
