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

In an increasingly digital world, access to technology is crucial for our students' success. By supporting this project, you are directly contributing to creating a level playing field for all our learners, fostering an environment where they can thrive academically. Students need access to reliable technology that is ready to work when they are ready to learn. Too often students arrive to class with drained batteries, which limits their ability to access and complete tasks.

We aim to create a centralized charging station that can accommodate a significant number of Chromebooks, as well as smaller charging areas throughout the classroom.

This station will not only keep our devices organized but also ensure they are always ready for use.
