My Project

Thank you for your kind donations. It's the hands-on activities that fire up student interest but the consumables are so expensive and not always part of a school's top priority. As part of their preparation for the real world as well as the CompTIA Networking exam, students require hands-on projects to pass the certification exams in networking. Because students will not be able to make a RJ45 straight-through or cross-over cable right the first time. We need a lot of cabling supplies. Safety is always the first thing we learn when we come into a STEM classroom. Having enough safety equipment for each child is important not just for the safety of the students but also to teach them proper safety procedures when going out into the real world. We would also like to purchase light covers to help soften the glare of the 30+ light fixtures we have in the classroom. Students already stare at the computer screen, cutting down some of the glare helps with fatigue from staring at the computer for so long.
