My students need 3 laptops and a microphone to create US History podcasts, as well as participate in competitive debate.

Celebrating 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 Students
Our students are dreamers, builders, and leaders. Unfortunately, they are not given access to many of the tools necessary for success. I aim to train my students in the 21st Century skills that will be required to attain their desired level of greatness. We're a Title I School, with many students who simply do not have access on their own to reliable technology.
What I want most for my students is to be able to take their own future into their own hands without being held back by any sorts of limitations.
My students will be those that change the world because they believe they can. In order to do that, they must be able to use the tools of today and tomorrow.
My Project
This project is designed to stimulate the ideals of what a 21st Century United States History course and debate program can and should be.
I am aiming to have my students at the forefront of technology by using it to amplify their voices in their course of study and competition.
They will be using the laptops to compile their research and assemble presentations based upon their bodies of work. In addition, the microphone will serve to record student-led podcasts and video reviews of current events, class materials, and other subjects so that they can share their viewpoints and knowledge with the world around them.
The materials will also aide outside of the classroom, as many of my US History students are also on the debate team which I coach. They do not have the technology that many of the other teams bring to competition. These materials will help to bridge that gap.
More than half of students from low‑income households
