Microwaves for Student Lunch Area

Help me give my students several microwaves to heat their food during lunch shifts!

My Project

Previously, during our 4 lunch shifts, I allowed students to use my classroom microwave. However, it created more disruption than help because my classroom is far from the cafeteria, creating a lot of hallway traffic. I want to provide our 200 students (during each lunch shift) with several microwaves to heat food attached to the cafeteria. This helps because students can use it to heat homemade lunches without spending their entire lunch searching for a microwave. Therefore, students can focus on learning before and after lunch instead of focusing on where their food can be heated.
