My Students

My students are extremely inquisitive and love to learn about the world around them. I want them to have more opportunities to ignite their passion for authentic learning. Help our students by giving them more opportunities to code! It has been estimated that 80% of the jobs in the future will be technology based. By helping to fund this project, you will be helping students build a solid foundation of computer technology education. Thank you for helping student learning today to ensure the success of tomorrow!

My Project

All of our students want to learn how to code. Right now we are limited at five total Sphero robots in our room. It would be wonderful for our students to be able to work one-on-one coding their Sphero robots. All we need is your help to make this happen! By giving our students the opportunity to work on individual coding projects, we give them more latitude at trial and error and quick turn around for problem solving their mistakes. Right now, they must wait several days until it is their turn to code before they can test their coding.
