My Project

In today's world electronics are a necessity. Many of my students have iPads that were given to them from the district, but aren't ready to use them because they are not charged.

An uncharged device is a useless device!

Most of them have lost or leave their chargers at home when they come to school. We need an organized way to keep these devices fully charged and ready to go when they are needed. I have brought in many chargers and charging wires from home, but that is still not enough, and we do not have the space to charge all of them at the same time.

Many of the district assessments and class projects require the students to use a device, and unfortunately they are not able to do them because they do not have charged devices. We only can charge so many at a time.

These materials will help us organize the iPads and keep them charging when we are not using them.
