Thank you. Thank you. In our Business and CTE classrooms, technology helps students connect learning directly to real-world careers. Students use digital tools to simulate business operations, analyze data, create marketing materials, and collaborate on entrepreneurial projects. This technology supports hands-on learning, allows students to work at their own pace, and provides immediate feedback, which strengthens both skill development and confidence. It also prepares students for the workplace by exposing them to the same types of tools they will encounter in college and professional environments.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students most about the new technology is how practical and interactive it feels. They are able to create presentations, business plans, and digital products rather than just read about them. Students who may struggle in traditional settings—especially hands-on learners, creative thinkers, and quieter students—have especially embraced the technology because it gives them new ways to participate, problem-solve, and demonstrate their strengths. Overall, the technology has increased engagement and helped students see a clear connection between school and their future careers.","fullyFundedDate":1757421825550,"projectUrl":"project/urban-entrepreneurs-innovators-need-too/9624006/","projectTitle":"Urban Entrepreneurs, Innovators Need Tools Support Student Business Ventures","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Baker","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-3_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10189384"},{"teacherId":2403977,"projectId":6491454,"letterContent":"Thanks so much for the tech for our classroom!
