My Students

Can you imagine the excitement of using a brand new computer to research a topic, only to discover that it now has a virus making it impossible to complete your assignment?

Our school is in a very low income neighborhood.

Most of the students do not have computers at home. We had a working computer in our classroom, but a virus has disabled it. This software will enable us to protect, restore, and backup our projects and assignments.

My Project

My students love to research current classroom topics! From dinosaurs to rainforests, they are thirsty for more information. The students even like to practice their math on-line! We have a computer that was donated to our classroom. It now has a virus that redirects us every time we try to use it. This problem can easily be reversed and avoided in the future with proper protection.

Your help will greatly benefit economically challenged students and enable them to continue research impressive projects.

We will be able to repair our software and protect our computer!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
