My Project
Our classroom is 1/3 of what used to be a large science classroom with a closet due to our expanding student population. This leaves us with only two outlets in the entire classroom, of course in the most inconvenient locations.
We need power strips to reach out into the classroom space so students can plug in their Chromebooks, microscopes, glue guns and other tools that we use in our science classroom.
Having power strips will make it easier for students to plug in and still have an adequate workspace instead of having to crowd on the two tables near the outlets.
So many of our tools require power and right now, we struggle to find ways to keep things plugged in and power our classroom. These power strips will help us to do that and make it safer for students as they all have surge protection and the cords will be taped down so nobody trips!
