Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My students are a wonderful group of high school students. They are in between being excited about graduation and being fearful about what comes after graduation. They are about to begin a season of testing and it would be so advantageous to have power banks to assist them. We would use the power banks in the testing room because many of their computers aren't properly charged and there aren't enough outlets to charge all the computers that need charging.

The answer to this solution is having the portable chargers!

With the chargers, students won't need to be close to outlets to charge their computers. All they will need to do is to plug in the chargers!
