Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

Tiger Scholars are future leaders, engineers, and problem solvers. They come to school each and every day embodying our school's motto, "Finding a Way, Tigers Don't Quit!"

Our school is a learning community where all students Work hard, achieve and inspire.

As a Title I school located in Northeast Washington, DC., our scholars are 100% free and reduced lunches and always looking for opportunities and access to fun and creative learning! We love working with partners from around the city, country, and globe!

My Project

With these iPads, Tiger scholars will have the opportunity to do amazing STEAM projects that include coding, data literacy, financial literacy, and teaching math through social justice.

Students will have the opportunity to use the iPads to code robots, build and analyze graphs and learn about their communities through the lens of the STEAM content.

Tiger scholars will build their problem solving, voice and agency through their work with the iPads using them as a platform for research, collaboration, and presentations. Ultimately, our Tiger Scholars will be working on a project that brings coding, data literacy, and financial literacy together by working on an Eco Audit. This audit allows students to collect data and evidence using their iPads. Then propose a problem that can be fixed in their community. Once they have identified the problem, they will then create a budget and fundraising plan.

Thanks so much for your support!
