Building a support Tech hub

Help me give my students greater support by funding a laptop and desktop to create a workstation where they can access resources, complete work, and engage in restorative or academic support as needed.

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 Project

This project will provide a laptop and desktop computer to create a dedicated workstation that supports both students and staff. The laptop will allow me to visit classrooms and track student progress in real time, helping to tailor interventions and support. The desktop will serve as a reliable space for planning, accessing resources, and working directly with students.

My goal is to create a student-centered environment where learners can complete assignments, receive academic help, and engage in restorative conversations.

This space will give students the tools and support they need to succeed.

Our students are resilient, diverse, and full of potential. They benefit most when given personalized attention and access to resources in a supportive environment. This workstation will help us meet those unique needs and foster growth for every learner.
