I get the opportunity to work with 150 curious and smart students every day!
The current Marketing students love to research businesses and people that are creative and dynamic in their fields
.
Unfortunately, they do not have access to computers.
One of their favorite projects is to create an invention or improve upon a product, create a presentation and "Pitch" their creation to our version of "The Shark Tank". Currently, Phones are being used as a substitute for computers, but when students are working on Essays, Presentations for fun and dynamic projects, and for using their researching skills a computer, laptop or Chrome book would be the better choice. There are also students who do not have cellphones or smartphones. These students usually have to double up with a friend or wait to go home to do work.
Please help put Chrome Books into the hands of the curious.
My Project
Your Help is greatly appreciated!
My name is Maria Bray. I am the new Marketing teacher at Sentinel High School in Missoula, Montana.
I serve approximately 150 students in formal classes and the DECA club students, about 50 throughout the day. This classroom/program does not have computers to research topics that pertain to the many aspects of Marketing business, Economics, Business and society, Promotion, Entrepreneurship. and much more.
A good portion of the students in Marketing also join DECA and run the school store or SBE.
A school-based enterprise (SBE) is an entrepreneurial operation in a school setting that provides goods/services to meet the needs of the market. SBEs are managed and operated by students as hands-on learning laboratories that integrate National Curriculum Standards in marketing, finance, hospitality or management.
The money earned is distributed in many areas that help our Sentinel Students.
Due to the tightening of funds, getting a computer, let alone 10, is nearly impossible.
I am trying to raise money for the purchase of Chrome Books for the students to use in class. There is so much curriculum for Marketing that requires a computer to run and create. We are currently working on starting a Sports and Entertainment Marketing course. We are in exciting times and wish to help students achieve anything they can set a goal for!
