Protecting Tablets

Help me give my students new robots and covers to protect their tablets!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Trigsted's classroom raised $250

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project is all about adding important items to our tech zone. The Amazon Fire tablet cases are important because they provide protection to the technology we have allowing them to last longer and stay in good shape for all students to use. The Sphero minis are a great addition to our robots for a simple and easy way to allow anyone to experience the joys of robots! These are especially popular when we partner with the younger grades! Thank you for your help in funding these much-needed items for our classroom.

Ms. Trigsted Newberry Math & Science Academy Grades 6-8
