Help me give my students a desktop processor, graphics card, motherboard, and other resources for the opportunity to fall in love with coding, game development, 3d design, audio-video editing, journalism, and photography by letting them build, use, manage, and create just like the pros.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Ricks's classroom raised $956
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
My students love technology and want a makers-space. By supporting this project for a desktop processor, graphics card, motherboard, power packs, and other resources, you allow students to build computers and compete for careers like content creators, shout casters, audio-video editing, 3d design creation, game development, and eSports competition. Our Girls Who Game group will have a safe space to explore, our esports teams will have another system to use and our Game Art and Design students will have another piece of equipment for them to be creative to show off their skills that can create opportunities for them to go to college and or work with our community partners.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
