Building Problem Solvers & Critical Thinkers With Pythonroom

The Description

Almost all of the jobs my students will hold in the future will require them to have working knowledge of technology and programming. This year I want to engage my students in coding lessons with Pythonroom. Not only will it help them build critical skills in computer science and programming language, but it will also Develop key critical thinking and problem solving skills.

With Pythonroom’s curriculum students will have access to over hundreds of problems that will move their understanding past basic block-based languages and will have them coding in an actual programming language. Since Pythonroom is designed for teachers, it will also allow me to identify common misunderstandings as well as to how best apply these skills in the real world.

This is where you come in! Pythonroom comes at a small cost and every dollar you invest brings it one step closer to my students.

Here is the breakdown in cost for fundraising for Pythonroom

  • Pythonroom - $300.00
  • Preferred Partner Program (10%) - $36.60
  • PledgeCents Platform Fee (5%) - $18.30
  • Processing Fee (3%) - $10.98
  • Total - $366.00 (rounded up to the nearest dollar)

Back Up Plan

If I do not meet my goal, I will purchase some student licenses for Gamestar Mechanic.  This is a game design program for students.

About the Creator

I have been a teacher since 1986, and have been teaching computers the last 6 years. I've been teaching coding using block coding with programs like Scratch and Code.org. Many of my kids are in need of the next challenge. Learning a language like Python will prepare them to take Computer Science classes in high school. I'm excited that Pythonroom could be available for my classes.
