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

Thank you for your interest on my project. I have included a charging station that will help reduce the probability of a fire in the classroom. With having over 20 students in the classroom and only 3 outlets in the room. I am using two extension cords with surg protectors however we have had 2 chargers start smoking and begin to burn in the classroom while students are in the room. Luckily both instances were quickly reported by students and no fires started but i do not want to take any chances in the future. The charging case will help provide a safe area to charge iPads the cord covers will help hide any cords that are out/ connecting teacher computer to the smartboard.
