My Project

My Students

I teach an amazing group of high school students who are motivated, curious, and eager to learn—but they’re often held back by a lack of access to technology.

Many come from low-income households and don’t have the tools they need to keep up with the digital demands of modern education.

My Project

I am requesting tablets and wireless keyboards to give my students access to essential technology that supports learning both in and out of the classroom. These tools will help them:

Conduct research and complete online assignments

Practice digital literacy and typing skills

Collaborate on group projects

Use educational apps for math, writing, and more

With these devices, students will be better prepared for high school, college, and careers in a tech-driven world. This project will directly impact their ability to succeed by making learning more interactive, engaging, and accessible.

The Impact

This isn’t just about giving students gadgets—it’s about giving them a fair chance. Access to tablets and keyboards will level the playing field for students who don't have devices at home and empower them to learn confidently and independently.

Thank you for helping us close the technology gap and open up new opportunities for these bright young learners.
