My Project

Our lab is almost complete. We have 25 computers, with headphones and table mats. We also raised money for our esports equipment and digital art tools.

Now we need high-quality keyboards.

Why new keyboards?

The default keyboards that came with our system are not built for longtime, everyday use. Some are already showing problems. The mechanical keyboards will last for decades. Also, if something breaks, these keyboards are repairable.

According to the New York Times, the data is in anonymous agreement. Better equipment makes students learn more content, and that content is learned more effectively.

The sizes of our desks are relatively small. We are using 100% keyboards, which gives us only about 6 inches for each student mouse. The size of these keyboards is 75% which will give each student about 8 additional inches of space on their desk, totalling a 14-inch area for their mouse.

Mahalo for reading this. I hope you find more great opportunities to help students learn.

Mr. Abraham
