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

As a STEM educator in a school that serves a high number of homeless families, I see that my students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. With Covid creating its own economic problems, families are having it hard to meet their basic needs.

Even with the economic challenges they face, my students will not let that stop them from learning and growing.

They are excited about technology and learning new things. Their excitement challenges me to create more technology-driven projects to drive their STEM/STEAM education. While they come from varied backgrounds, abilities, and cultures, they stand united in their desire to learn and work together!

My Project

Now that it is getting colder outside, my students need the necessities like winter coats, hoodies, hats, gloves, and scarves to ensure that they can stay warm throughout the next few months. Many families don't have the money for new coats and sweaters. They use hand-me-downs that have broken zippers or holes. Sometimes, the coats are stained beyond just needing to be washed.

"Sometimes real superheroes live in the hearts of small children fighting big battles"~Anonymouse.

Can you imagine having to wake up on a cold winter morning and not having a coat, sweater, or other clothing to keep you warm as you walk to school?

Many students in my school have to do just that. Covid has made it more difficult for our families. My students persevere through the "hiccups" in their life. I want to make sure that staying warm is one thing they do not have to worry about. Each sweater will be personalized for each student. So not only are they warm, but cute also.
