This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
Against all odds these kids are taking it on. Our school is one of the most diverse in the state. Our students battle intergenerational poverty, limited housing with transient living situations all while trying to get an education and create a future for themselves that the majority our student population has not had modeled to them by their families.
My Project
Virtual headsets can transport someone with amazing life-like detail to anywhere else in the world. These tools will be used to take our students from our counseling center to the gates of their prospective campuses.
These tools will transport our students to the colleges they are considering, creating inspiration and motivation to take the necessary steps to get them there in person.
Tools like these make funding cuts, Covid restrictions on travel, and family limitations a mere detail because we have a very real and affordable way to show them the college campuses they have been dreaming of.
More than half of 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
