My Project

I have an amazing science classroom with one flaw: I have only FIVE outlets in this room! Between my refrigerator holding maple water and other science materials, my hydroponic plant system, and our clock, we are left with VERY FEW outlets for students to charge their school computers.

The few outlets in my classroom are located in the very back of the room, so students are constantly huddled around the back of the room working while their computers charge, making it difficult to see the board or participate in learning!

These extension cords and power strips will drastically improve the learning environment by providing a charging station right at student desks. The longer extension cords are for the middle of the room (farther away from current outlets) and the shorter ones are for closer to the edge of the room.
