My Students

My modern students are laughing at our dinosaur of a printer.

My students are taking College Prep Physics while attending a Southern California Public Charter High School.

They are technophiles and I am always trying to find materials and resources that will appeal to them. Most of the technology in my class room is at least 10 years old and definitely in need of replacement.

My Project

The HP printer I am requesting will replace the "antique" printer that currently works only when the stars are aligned just so. The new printer will give them access to a sleek and modern printer which will appeal to their sense of technology while also providing them with the option of mobility that is not possible with our current resources.

The only way I can appeal to my students love of sleek and mobile technology is through donors such as yourselves.

This printer will definitely help them by providing mobile printing capabilities that they can use to complete labs and much more.
