My Project

Years ago in another school I had the chance to work with students on a MacBook device. Through the work we did we were able to develop some very creative work! Now I want to give that same chance to my current students in my current school! They certainly deserve the same access to resources!

Between the speed and power of the MacBook compared to another laptop device, students are able to create their projects without computers crashing or power running out or a long list of other common issues with your typical laptop.
