FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Fredericks's classroom raised $298

My Project
Many students these days are painfully shy, this is especially true of multilingual learners because they are often afraid of making mistakes while speaking. And the pandemic has exacerbated this trait. Shyness can negatively affect their learning because they may feel unable to express their thoughts, concerns, or questions.
This is why the QBall microphone is so incredible.
This device will make public speaking fun and exciting for the students, and it will let their voices resonate. Students will be able to express themselves and share their ideas far more easily without having to worry about not being heard.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
