difficulties of a virtual “school,”especially in under-privileged neighborhoods. Additionally, the effect of COVID-19 on theBlack community is proportionally higher than for other groups of people. Some believe it is dueto the tight living quarters in urban areas plus the lack of medical care. In November of 2020, The Orlando Sentinel ‘s front page read that more poor, Black andHispanic students opted for online learning. How would this turn out? Would children learn?What can we do to mitigate not only the fear of failure but also lack of success? In Florida, Blackstudents were not returning to school.

, all four teams ordered the parts and started working onthe projects in the second and third weeks of July. Since the MTSU campus was closed and theCOVID-19 cases surged in the summer, the students collaborated remotely using slack, Zoom,text messages, Discord, etc. Because the project involved writing code, some students also set upGitHub repositories in order to collaborate and perform version control. The faculty mentorshelped the students along the way by holding regularly status meetings and answering theirquestions.4.
