The BEF Building STEAM 4 All
Program will match $1250 in donations!
A special thanks to our partners in this program: First Tech Federal Credit Union, Genentech, Intel Foundation, Oregon Community Foundation, Spirit Mountain Community Fund, Synopsys Foundation, NW Natural, PGE Foundation, Vernier Software and Technology, AWS Elemental, and Metro.
Share the challenge with your friends, family, and co-workers!
Beaverton Education Foundation has already provided $680 in matching contributions.
Help students advance their coding skills with support for enhanced computer resources, called Micro:bits. My students enjoyed using Micro:bits in the past, but these next generation units will enable even more learning opportunities and valuable practice using advanced language, cooperation, problem solving, flexibility and perseverance.
The latest Micro:bits include a built in microphone, speaker and touch sensor for interactive enhancement and project ideas. Without these advanced Micro:bits, my students will have fewer opportunities to code and create engaging, interactive and personalized projects.
I will work closely with all 256 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students and more than 10 teachers to connect classroom content to projects created in STEAM!
When you donate you will see progress updates, lots of smiles and videos of proud students showing their amazing work. Interactive reports, reading projects come alive, interactive robots? We’ll have them!
This project is supported by the Beaverton Education Foundation.
