Help me give my students graphing calculators for a chance at future they never knew was possible.

Our school takes pride in giving students options for the next phase in life. For some, college has never been an option that they have considered due to their lack of achievement in the mathematics section of the SAT. Students complain that they never have enough time or the questions are just too hard. Today, a student said, "If I had this calculator for the SAT, I would have saved so much time and done so much better." I was shocked to learn that students use outdated devices on a continuously evolving test. Students should be using the best possible graphing calculator allowed on the SAT daily. Unfortunately, most of my students cannot afford to spend money on this type of technology. I was saddened to discover many of my students have to work to contribute to the household. There is no money to contribute to a student's success on the SAT. I want to change that.
These calculators are game changers for school, home and the SAT. The calculator emulator gives students the freedom to practice on their own. Students can explore mathematical proofs/concepts, computer programming with the python, robotics with the innovator vehicle and many more concepts and ideas. Their learning is no longer limited to the classroom setting. They are exploring their ideas with hope. They transforming my classroom into a research and development facility. We are working together to help them get the best results for their future. The only limitation we have is the number calculators available. They have the drive and the will to succeed, all they need is the tools.
