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

My students are lucky enough to each have a Chromebook in my class. They complete most of their work on these Chromebooks and this has allowed my kids to become very tech-savvy! The biggest problem we seem to run into is Chromebooks that are not charged! Several of my students tend to come to school without charged Chromebooks, making it very difficult to complete their work. We are in a very old school, and our classroom only has 3 outlets in it. Because of this, students are unable to plug in their Chromebooks to charge.

The charging station and surge protectors in this project will allow several students the opportunity to charge their Chromebooks at one time so they can quickly get back to work!

The less time they waste the more successful they will be. Thank you for your consideration.
