Technology and Programming Education in Schools
A cause I feel strongly about is teaching programming and technology in schools. I did not realize how much I enjoyed programming and technology until my junior year of high school after taking a robotics course. I believe we should teach kids programming and technology basics in middle school and elementary school as well. Right now kids are taught basic computer skills like typing and computer safety. I want to take that a step further towards basic coding and computer hardware.
How People Can Help
People can help by donating time, money, and resources. Those who already have technology skills can donate their time to after school programs or clubs, teaching children what they know. People can donate money to a schools technology budget or fundraising to get a program started. Finally, people with old technolgy or robotics can donate those materials to a school for students use to learn either by programming them or taking them apart to see how they work.
