Project Projector

Help me give my students a wall-mounted projector so we can avoid the blinding light when walking by and eliminate tripping hazards in our classroom.

My Project

Our beautiful classroom is in need of a projector that won’t shine directly into our eyes when we walk past it. As we all know, children’s eyes are still developing, and the bright light from a standard projector can be harmful—even a few seconds of exposure isn't ideal. We want to do everything we can to protect our young students' vision.

A wall-mounted projector would be the perfect solution.

It would eliminate the risk of tripping over cords, free up valuable classroom space, and allow us to do more rigorous indoor activities—especially during the wet and cold winter months.

Additionally, a mounted projector would ensure that everyone can see the screen clearly, even if someone accidentally stands in front of it.

My students and I would be incredibly grateful to have this resource funded. Thank you so much for considering our request and supporting our learning environment!
