Wilkinson Junior High School 50 Computers Working with the Clay County Education Foundation and the school district, we will identify 50 students at Wilkinson Junior High School who are at risk and in need of a computer. This is the poorest part of Clay County, and the children do not have computers at home. This will enhance their opportunities to advance in their studies, as well as learn to code. Students and parents will come together for this meeting and for the class. Clay County School District will provide support to teach parents and students how to access resources through the portal. Andrew Jackson High School 51 Computers Andrew Jackson High School selected young men and women headed to an IT career. Student work was coordinated by the teachers, Mr. Lozano. He worked with students to have a meaningful project that they were able to complete on their computer at home. Many of the students are also participants in IT clubs. Students receiving the computers are in the following courses: Advanced Placement Computer Science Principles, Multi-User Coding Class, Game Design Coding Class.

Hilliard Junior/Senior High School 25 Computers Students in rural Nassau County were challenged to complete an accelerated pathway in coding utilizing resources available from Code.org. Computers were awarded to the first 25 students to complete the accelerated pathway curriculum at the Hilliard Junior/Senior High School. These students did not have a computer at home and now have the opportunity to continue learning and coding at home, complete their homework, and have support at their school for their learning experiences. Robert E. Lee High School 8 Computers The students at Robert E Lee High School are economically disadvantaged, and in need of computers. At the request of Amy Donofrio, have provided providing a computer to two young men who have just earned a scholarship to college and do not have a computer. There is also a young lady from SHEvac (the sister group for girls) who is attending EWC and did not have a computer. She is a living miracle. She lost both of her parents at age 10 and both of her older sisters were murdered. She needs a computer to be successful in school. These computers give students at risk needed tools for success.
