For our first semester the Deerfield Run Elementary School Coders were able to create a unique music video making their own original music and animations. This was a great project that allowed them to integrate math, literacy, music, and art. For the past two years I taught my students how to code using block language programs like Scratch, which was sufficient to give them a brief window into the world of coding.
It is time to take it to the next level and open the door to the wider world of programming, to develop the skills needed for the future.
For the past 8 years all of the materials for my enrichment programs came out of my own pocket, usually tallying up hundreds of dollars. Because over 80% of the student body receives free or reduced meals, I wanted to make sure that enrichment programming was free to all. Now to step into the future with my students I need your help. I need help getting these licences for my students so they can reach for their future.
