My Project
The Apple iPad I'm requesting will be used by my students to take advantage of the amazing apps that are available for free that apply to High School Science by providing access to the technologies when they forget to bring their Tech devices to class.
Your generous assistance will allow me to reach my students in ways that are currently unavailable.
This iPad will greatly increase their access to technology that will develop their enjoyment and enthusiasm for learning High School Science this year and for many years to come.
