Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Help us de-tangle the mess of wires at our computer table. Between the connecting wires, headphone wires, and the computer mouse, there are wires everywhere!

Third graders from a big city in New York need all the help they can get.

Every little bit helps! They love to utilize the computers we are so lucky to have. Unfortunately, the computers are all on one table, and the many connecting wires are constantly getting tangled.

My Project

A wireless computer mouse will eliminate at least one wire from each computer. That may not seem like much, but it will be a huge help. With such a small space to work with, one less wire per computer will make for a more easy, enjoyable, educational experience!

Having a wireless mouse to work with on each computer will really make computer time more fun with less effort.

Whether a student is right-handed or left-handed, they will be able to comfortably use the computers in our classroom and it will all be THANKS to YOU!
