My Project
I am requesting handheld gaming consoles so my students can design, code, and play their own games. These devices will let students work alone or together, giving them a real-world platform to share their creations with classmates.
My goal is to bridge the gap between coding and real-life application.
By putting their games directly into their hands, students will see their ideas come to life. This project will boost their confidence, fuel their love for coding, and encourage problem-solving and teamwork.
My students are special because of their creativity and passion for coding. They thrive on challenges and love seeing their work make an impact. With handheld consoles, their digital designs will become something they can play, share, and be proud of.
The previous project for the same items was incredibly well-received, with students eagerly engaging with the handheld consoles and showcasing their games to classmates. Due to the popularity and positive impact of these devices, I am seeking additional funding to expand the project. This will allow more students to work with the consoles simultaneously and potentially create a mini arcade where younger students can play the games developed by older students. This expansion will further enhance collaboration, creativity, and the joy of coding within our school community.
More than half of students from low‑income households
