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

Constantly, students' Chromebooks are running on low battery. Why not solve this issue by setting up a Chromebook portable charging station where Chromebooks are given a boost and constantly charged? Especially when students often experience issues with their Chromebooks running low on battery. To address this problem, we can establish a portable charging station where Chromebooks can be charged and kept powered up. Students need to have fully charged devices while they are using them, so they don’t have to rush to avoid their Chromebooks shutting down. Last year, I faced a significant challenge when my students' Chromebooks weren't fully charged for their Math STAAR test. Having charging stations in two different locations around the classroom would greatly benefit everyone and ensure that all devices remain ready for use.
