My Project

Our school was built in 1961, and the electrical outlets in each classroom has never been updated to keep up with the technology of the our world today. Therefore we have five outlets in our classroom. This is not ideal when students need to charge their laptops or need multiple things plugged in at once during our science lessons. I am looking to update our classroom with heavy duty power strips that can be installed into the walls throughout the room, thus modernizing our classroom for the 21st century. This will allow us to engage students in microscope labs where we can plug in a dozen of them at once for students to view different cells and organisms. It will allow me to charge and plug in multiple devices and robotics materials in our coding and robotics unit. Please help us modernize our classroom. Thank you for reading this proposal.
