Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Students in our game design club love creating games on Scratch. But, they aren't able to clearly see and edit the games as easily on their classroom Chromebooks. In steps the iMac, with its large display screen.

Now, students will be able to see the game, give each other constructive criticism, and have a better idea of what their game will look like before they have to publish it.

Imagine being able to see all the amazing 3D colors on a vivid retina display!

Having the right program for our students to promote their games will help us have more successful community outreach events as we look forward to fundraising to help our club become visible, but to also allow our school community to feel welcoming and comfortable to everyone.
