My Project

Our laptops and iPads are constantly burning out our cables. Chargers go missing and no one knows where they go. We have labeled them, colored them, locked them up and still they go missing or get damaged and do not work. Same thing happens to our cables. We need to purchase a reserve so we have enough for our classroom laptops and iPads to be charged and able to work for a group.

Our students use laptops and iPads for group lessons, and reinforcement work, nothing hurts more than a laptop without a charge or it needs to be wired to work.

Our students have enough difficulty and do not need one more layer of why doesn't this work. We want to be able to charge a class of laptops at the same time and have the set of 12 charged for a group assignment. We are hoping that this project is funded and we will be energized and ready to go.
