FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Ornelas's classroom raised $1,481
This project is fully funded
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 Project
The addition of an Apple laptop to my science classroom marks a transformative leap into interactive and collaborative learning.
This device becomes the conduit for virtual experiments, dynamic simulations, and multimedia presentations.
Beyond fostering teamwork and communication, it instills crucial digital literacy skills. Real-time feedback enhances comprehension, ensuring a profound understanding of scientific principles. This initiative not only cultivates a love for science but also readies students for STEM careers, bridging the gap between classroom learning and real-world applications.
What distinguishes my students is their contagious enthusiasm for exploration, and this laptop becomes the key to unlocking their full academic potential.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
