My Project

Have you ever been to a talent show? Kids love to show their strengths

within the entertainment platform and it builds up their self-esteem.

A microphone and speaker system really assist with the sounding and carry their voices far. In a big auditorium they can feel lost if there is no sounding system. But on the other hand, the sounding system at our school is too complicated for me to handle. Also, there are only two microphones to be shared among 50 classes. There are at least three performances we put on for parents, the Autumn (a recorder instrument show), the Winter (a singing show), and the Summer (a talent show). So, we need our own microphones and speaker system to put up these shows throughout the school year.

We also need the raffle ticket rolls to be used like an incentive financial literacy system. Students tends to behave and become responsible when they are given a classroom job to do. They would trade the tickets for novelty toys or healthy snacks. Each color ticket represents a monetary value such as the blue ticket is $1, yellow is $5, and pink is $10. They learn to save money/tickets to get a bigger valued prize. So, everyone wins using the system.
