My Project

My students live in a rural community where resources are limited, but their drive to learn is limitless. Many come from low-income households and do not have access to technology at home. Despite these challenges, they come to school excited to grow, explore, and connect with the world around them. These kids are smart, creative, and full of potential—they simply need the tools to help them keep up with the demands of today’s world.

With classroom laptops, my students will be able to practice essential reading and math skills, conduct research, complete digital assignments, and participate in engaging, interactive lessons.

Having individual access to technology will allow them to work at their own pace, build digital literacy, and gain the confidence they need to succeed in school and beyond. My goal is to close the digital divide in my classroom and provide every child with the opportunity to thrive in a modern learning environment.
