Wireless for Computers to Level the Playing Field!
Help me give my students computer access at our school. We have the computers but our current wireless connection can't support all of the students when connected. Please help level the playing field.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Pecunia's classroom raised $281
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
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
Our school is a 100% free lunch & Title I school serving new immigrants in the Bronx (NYC), New York. Our kids are amazingly motivated to achieve the American dream. Most of the parents did not finish high school.
My students are future minority engineers!
Make their dreams come true. They are hard working and super motivated. All they need is to get to the knowledge and wireless will make that happen.
Please help them in their quest to become future engineers.
My Project
We have the computers but can't connect to the internet because it is too slow and con't handle our multiple connections.
When more than 5 computers get online everything slows to a crawl, and we all get frustrated that we can't complete our coding tasks.
One wireless router would solve this problem for my 100 students that can be our future engineers. The router would allow us all to connect to the internet . This would also allow us to expand our computer offerings to clubs and to increase the number of children we could impact each day. Thank you!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
