My Students

My students attend our school from all over St. Paul, MN. Our school has a diverse student population and is comprised of 2 schools, Science and Montessori. My students are active, inquisitive children in need of interesting and engaging STEM resources. They also enjoy using their iPads and computers in new, creative and productive ways for learning. Coding robots engages my students and helps them persevere when the learning becomes challenging.

My Project

We are always looking to integrate the latest technology into our student's learning. Being 1:1 with iPads, robotics with Spheros, 3D printing with Makerbot, and now we look to do VR design with Oculus. We want our students to be able to experience their VR designs made in CoSpaces.

Our students are becoming the leaders for tomorrow by using technology to solve today's problems.

We appreciate community partners helping us to break down access barriers that exist in an urban school. Outside funding helps us to avoid the difficulties of justifying our work through a vetting process.
