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

Have you ever thought about how 28 students will charge their Chromebooks to complete work at the end of the day with only 3 outlets in a classroom? Have you ever tried to convince a middle schooler to stop looking at their phone? The secure, lockable charging station will be a safe space for loaner Chromebooks as well as a charging station for students who need overnight charging.

The power tower strategically placed at the technology stations will help students stay focused on the task at hand instead of attempting to charge their Chromebooks away from their group.

Middle schoolers sometimes forget to charge their devices overnight, or by the end of a school day have used the device enough to drain the battery. Students have flexible seating and flexible activities, especially on station rotation days, which include technology opportunities.

The USB cell phone charging station will be a reliable and consistent space for student phones for the duration of class time, cultivating a practice that positively encourages students to voluntarily put away their phones.
