My Project
In our classroom, learning is hands-on, student-driven, and deeply connected to the world around us. My students are eager to create, collaborate, and explore—but we need the right tools to make that possible. That’s why I’m requesting an Apple iMac 24" All-in-One with the M3 chip. This powerful technology will help transform our classroom into a space where students can engage in project-based learning, multimedia storytelling, digital design, and research with confidence and creativity.
This isn’t just about a computer.
It’s about access and equity.
Many of my students are from historically marginalized communities—brilliant young people of color who deserve the same cutting-edge resources that students in wealthier schools take for granted. When classrooms like ours lack up-to-date technology, it widens the opportunity gap and sends a message that our students’ futures are less important. We are determined to change that.
With the iMac, my students will be able to develop real-world skills: video editing, graphic design, research, coding, and digital publishing. They will use it to tell their own stories, create passion projects, and build portfolios that reflect their identities, cultures, and visions for the future. They won’t just be consumers of media—they’ll be creators, leaders, and innovators.
Representation matters. Access matters. And your support tells my students that they matter.
Thank you for helping build a classroom where equity, imagination, and excellence thrive—one project, one voice, and one future at a time.
