Collaboration with Kapor Center, Kingmakers of Oakland, and DonorsChoose Allows Students Access to High-Quality Resources & Peer-to-Peer Support

Equal Opportunities Schools, DonorsChoose, Kapor Center, Kingmakers of Oakland, and now Fiveable are partnering with Google.org to help Bay Area schools expand the enrollment and success of low-income and students of color in AP STEM courses. Teachers at participating schools will be able to post projects on DonorsChoose that will be fully funded by Google.org, while funds last.

From pencils to 3-D printers, with DonorsChoose and the Rising STEM Scholars program, you can request anything you need to enrich your students’ STEM experience at school. If you can imagine it, you can make a request for a classroom project.

“Black+ and Latinx+ students who take advanced computer science (CS) in high school are 7–8 times more likely to major in CS in college.”

“…lower income schools are 4X less likely to offer CS learning opportunities.”

“In California, Black+, Latinx+, and American Indian/Alaska Native students make up 60% of the overall school population but only 15% of Advanced Placement CS A test-takers.”
