Help me give my students better tools (computer mouses) to work on our laptops when creating 3D designs, editing photos, and learning programming on Scratch.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Lau's classroom raised $176

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
My students embody the vibrant energy of their neighborhood and the hardworking attitude of the city in which they live. They are proud to call themselves New Yorkers. But regardless of their various backgrounds, they come to school ready to learn and to make lasting relationships with fellow students and teachers.
Their goal is college readiness - and ultimately, graduation.
Everyday, they strive to put their best effort in the classroom. That means participating in active discussions, relearning material to achieve mastery, and building each other up so that all students reach their potential.
My Project
I started the first computer science classes at my high school last year and aim to build a program that both excites students and wants them to learn more. They learn block-based programming on Scratch. They learn how to edit photos using professional software. And in the future, I hope to build in more technology, such as 3D printing.
However, the hardware we use in our classroom is sometimes limiting.
While each student has a Chromebook to use in the classroom, trackpads aren't ideal when working on these tasks. By giving every student a mouse as well, their mobility will increase, make their work more efficient, and decrease frustration.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
