Help me give my students in temporary housing with a Macbook Pro and Cricut machine to enhance creativity, build technical skills, and completing projects.
Students in temporary housing face unique challenges that can impact their ability to learn and thrive. By providing access to a MacBook Pro and a Cricut machine, we can empower these students to explore their creativity, develop valuable skills, and complete school assignments more efficiently.
The MacBook Pro will serve as a vital resource for online research, virtual learning, and developing technical skills such as graphic design, coding, and video editing.
Its portability ensures that students can use it wherever they are, bridging the gap in access to technology.
The Cricut machine will encourage hands-on learning by allowing students to create personalized projects, from posters to classroom decorations, which boost engagement and confidence. They can also design and produce items like cards, stickers, and banners that foster a sense of community and belonging.
Together, these tools will provide students in temporary housing with opportunities to express themselves, stay academically engaged, and build skills that will benefit them in the future. Your support can make a significant impact on their learning journey and emotional well-being.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
