Help me give my students an iPad so that we have enough devices for each student to work on their entrepreneurship projects.

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
The students at our STEAM Magnet school are special because we follow a CLEAR vision: Community, Leadership, Empathy, Academic Integrity and Reflection.
As a STEAM magnet, it is imperative that our students utilize technology as they explore the sciences and engineering processes, building their understanding of entrepreneurship and financial literacy.
This year we are focused on the ISTE Standard: Innovative Designer. Learning about the design process and how we can leverage technology to solve real-world problems is our focus for 2018-2019. Students utilize two alternative spaces, the Design Lab (makerspace) and Media Lab, to engage in their work.
We are a school that serves approximately 300 students with greater than 75% of our students qualifying for free or reduced lunch. Our families come from Mexico, Latin America, Africa, Philippines, Japan, Korea and America. We are a community tucked into a small neighborhood of Los Angeles and have been around standing for over 30 years. We are proud to have a CLEAR vision to drive our learning!
My Project
The iPad I am asking for will supply our students with 1:1 devices to work on their entrepreneurship projects. This will make a difference in our students' learning because the students can work on their projects at the same time instead of taking turns with their iPads. We have various apps and software to use with our students to differentiate learning, but without the resources, we cannot do this work!
To build their financial literacy, this entrepreneurship project will engage students in the design process with a specific purpose.
Students will learn to emapathize with a world problem in the year 2050 and design a solution that can then be modeled. Helping students understand the concepts of entrepreneurship absolutely incorporates conversations about finance. Through this project, students will be able to research the cost of materials and labor to make realistic decisions.
