Believe it or not, the tech talent pipeline is influenced as early as kindergarten. However, more than ever, educators are spending money out-of-pocket to provide students with the opportunities they deserve to succeed and tech-related purchases are some of the most costly. In response, the KC Tech Council launched the Tech for Teachers program and partnered with Meta to provide classrooms with tech-enabled learning.
From programmable robots to virtual reality headsets and so much more, our team has had the pleasure of supporting 11 classrooms around the Kansas City area with tech-related wishlist items for the 2023-2024 school year! This year, with Meta by our side, we’re set to make an even greater impact.
In order to qualify, the following criteria must be met:
- You are a full-time, licensed teacher at any school (K-12 only) in the Kansas City metropolitan area.
- The sole purpose of the item(s) submitted for consideration is to advance student education and not for personal use.
- You submit an Amazon wish list by Thursday, August 1st, including your school address so that selected items can be shipped directly to your classroom.
