They are learning to problem-solve, think critically, and collaborate in new and exciting ways. For many of them, this is their very first introduction to computer science, and it has sparked both curiosity and confidence.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has opened doors that otherwise may not have been available to my scholars. You have given them not only a tool, but also the message that their learning matters and their future is worth investing in.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and for helping us create a classroom where innovation and possibility thrive.
