Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

We use computers daily to enhance our learning. That gets changing if the computers don’t have enough charge to continue. Help me make my classroom fully powered. These power towers and cords will help ensure learning never stops.

The goal of this project is to make sure every student in my room can easily charge their computer when they are in my class.

Many of my students can’t afford to replace their charger when it dies and constantly come with dead computers. This hinders their learning. I want to make my room fully changeable.
