Hunter College High School current needs

Technology Items
✅ Student Chromebook Class Sets: A class set (30) of Chromebooks can be used for in-class writing and basic online search use. They are also used for AP Exam and other standardized online testing needs.

Program Support
✅ Continuation of last year’s curriculum pilot program—Strother Fellows. Last spring 5 HS teachers applied for, and received fellowship funding, to co-partner with the Strother School of Radical Attention to study how to create attention-centered practices in the classroom and to share these curricula with other HCHS and other interested teachers through the Strother School.
 Stipend to fund expansion of the HCHS FIRST Robotics program which is done in partnership with its corporate sponsor, Alliance Bernstein. AB has built a new student robotics lab in its new corporate headquarters in Hudson Yards. If HCHS can provide an additional mentor, we will be able to expand the number of students using the lab during the season and to provide middle school student access and activities in the fall.
