My Project
I teach high school computer science and graphics in a Title I district in rural Maine. We currently have a classroom that is part Apple and part older PC. We have 9 Apple computers. This DonorsChoose campaign is for 5 additional Apple computers. These computers will provide all students access to the same technology.
Helping fund this campaign of 5 Apple computers will allow my instruction to be consistent and allow students to have equitable experiences in my classroom setting.
With your generosity, we can help bridge this gap and create a more equitable learning environment for all students.
It is inspiring to see talented and dedicated students be given every opportunity to pursue their education and bright futures. With the right support, they can reach their full potential and thrive. Your donation would have a profound and lasting impact on their journey.
More than half of students from low‑income households
