The earbud translators are helping break down language barriers that once made it difficult for some of my students to fully participate in lessons. With this technology, my Spanish-speaking students can clearly understand instructions, safety guidelines, and career-specific vocabulary in real time. This has allowed them to stay engaged during demonstrations, ask questions with confidence, and complete hands-on tasks more independently. The technology is not replacing learning—it is supporting access, understanding, and equity in a career-focused environment.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most is how natural and empowering the translators feel. Instead of waiting for help or feeling unsure, they can immediately understand what is being taught and respond right away. Several students who were previously quiet or hesitant have become more active participants in class discussions and practical work. I've seen students smile, nod in understanding, and even help each other once communication became easier. The confidence boost alone has been powerful.\r\n\r\nThis project has especially impacted my English Language Learners, who now feel seen, supported, and included. One student shared that they feel more comfortable coming to class because they know they won't miss important information. These earbuds are doing more than translating language—they are opening doors to learning, confidence, and career readiness. Thank you for making this possible and for believing in my students' potential.","fullyFundedDate":1760121068415,"projectUrl":"project/breaking-language-barriers-earbud-trans/9738121/","projectTitle":"Breaking Language Barriers: Earbud Translators for Career Readiness","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Chukukelu","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10248978"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_883","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":548,"numTeachers":40,"percentFrplEligible":91,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":54,"percentWhite":2,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":34,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"13.7:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":66.0,"schoolId":883,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about William Maxwell Career Technical High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"William Maxwell Career Technical High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/william-h-maxwell-high-school/883"}
