Celebrating 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
In a government classroom, technology is the key to bringing lessons to life—whether it’s researching current events, analyzing political data, or engaging in interactive simulations. But all that technology is useless if devices are dead.
And the Washington Post says it best, "Democracy Dies in Darkness".
With students using laptops, tablets, and other tools to stay connected and informed, multiple power cords are a necessity, not a luxury. Without them, learning gets interrupted, discussions stall, and valuable time is lost. Keeping our classroom powered with power strips ensures that students have the resources they need to stay engaged, informed, and ready to participate in democracy.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
