When we introduced upgraded laptops and networking kits, students immediately engaged in real-world activities such as configuring networks, troubleshooting hardware, and practicing cybersecurity simulations. These resources allowed them to move beyond theory and apply concepts in a practical setting, which significantly boosted their confidence and technical skills.\r\nStudents who participated in these projects have gone on to earn industry-recognized certifications like CompTIA Tech+ and CIW Web Foundations. Many reported that the hands-on experience made the certification process less intimidating and more achievable. Additionally, these projects sparked interest in technology careers among students who previously had limited exposure to advanced computing. Several graduates have pursued college programs in computer science and cybersecurity, citing these classroom experiences as their inspiration.\r\nBy continuing to provide high-performance tools like a custom-built PC, we aim to replicate and expand this success. This project will not only enhance our current curriculum but also prepare students for future opportunities in tech fields, ensuring they have the skills and confidence to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital world.","fullyFundedDate":1733351966690,"projectUrl":"project/ctec-it-networking-pc-build/8712221/","projectTitle":"Ctec It Networking : PC Build","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Nwafor","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9091836_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1721772230510","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9091836"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_125132","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":150,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":67,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":66,"percentWhite":11,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":14,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":84.2,"schoolId":125132,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Ebr Career & Technical Education Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Ebr Career & Technical Education Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/louisiana/east-baton-rouge-parish-public-schools/ebr-career-tech-education-center/125132"}
