Better Batteries for Easier Editing

Help me give my students better laptop battery life and an extra set of headphones.

Mr. Skouson Sandstone Elementary School
Saint George, UT Grades 3-5

My Students

My students are a very tech-oriented bunch of kids. We like to do lots of Internet research, create multimedia products, and all the students are getting better at editing their writing online. We also have a 3D printer, LEGO robots, and Minecraft.

My Project

We are using old teacher laptops and they are old, so the batteries are not very good anymore. The batteries run out quickly. Some kids only get literally seconds. We need 16 batteries so all these laptops can finally not have to plug in every half hour. Also, we use headphones a lot and they get lost and need replacing from time to time. The little earbuds get lost easy and break even easier. Two dozen sets of headphones would get me through the rest of the year and partway through the next.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
