Samantha Solomon
Alameda County
Project: Build Your Own Computer Lab - Supporting Emerging Tech Leaders
This is Samantha's seventh year working as an educator in Oakland. The first six were spent as a middle school English teacher. This year, she is a full-time teacher librarian supporting students in grades 6-12 at both Life Academy and United for Success Academy, two public schools in the Oakland Unified School District.
One of the many important roles of a teacher librarian is to connect kids with technology. This has been one of Samantha's long-time passions, and she is determined to provide consistent, inspiring, and comprehensive technology skills and access to students out of the library.
Samantha’s project is about giving students access to computers and providing students with the opportunity to better understand how computers work. Middle and high school students will build their own computers, which will then be used for a computer lab in the library and as tools for students who want to learn coding and pursue more work with technology.
