Help me give my students the ability to save and move large files.

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

Being a computer teacher, it is often difficult to facilitate the saving of large projects. Students don't always have the ability to save their work on the local network, and when the files get too large, can't save them in the cloud. Having a large external hard drive to store their work is very important.

The portable 4TB External USB-C drive will allow students to create without the worry of how big their file is going to get.

Students need the freedom to build and design work with no limits. Giving them the capacity to do so is important. This will also allow my computer students the ability to reference their work later.
