Help us in Building a bunch of Entrepreneurial Kids

We believe that “Every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn computer science and use technology”. We also believe that our kids are creative enough to generate ideas that can transform their community. We want to them to become entrepreneurs - people who can leverage technology to create stuffs which can solve the problems in their community. This is our search for the next generation of Mark Zuckerburgs, Larry Page, Steve Jobs: plant the seeds for our own silicon valley in India.
Goal:
- Make kids build their own android app, which is one of the solutions for problems in their community.
- Make them logical thinkers and self-aware individuals by conducting lessons in an interactive manner and push their academic achievements by exposing them to available competitive exams.
- Drive Digital literacy (searching, emailing, etc) lessons by integrating them with daily Science, English and Social lessons
- Take lessons from code.org and deliver them via paper worksheets and tablets. Teach algorithmic thinking, exposure to internet (Google, Email), enable self-learning workshops. Use a in house WiFi hotspot and leverage technology to make learning high interactive and engaging.
- Create our own pool of lesson plans for integrating computational thinking. http://blog.stephenwolfram.com/2016/09/how-to-teach-computational-thinking/
- Make math interactive by leveraging lessons plans from available resources like http://www.mathbuddyonline.com/

We have piloted the algorithm thinking via code.org only to 16 students due to resource constraints we need your help to expand this to all students in all 3 classes. We also leverage a portion of this amount to support our basic classroom supplies like dustless chalks, markers, stationary for kids, exam paper/worksheet print outs etc.
