Save our Class From Being Squished Around A Computer

My students need a Mac-to-TV converter box.

  • $321 goal

Hooray! This project is fully funded

Hooray! This project is fully funded

I teach first grade in a city school where all the students are drastically under-exposed to technology.

We have no projection screens, smart boards, or even a computer lab at our school. If I want to teach the students how to use the computer, show them animation tools, or demonstrate learning games online, then we have to squish around one computer monitor.

If we get a converter box, we can use a TV to see what is on the computer. We won't have to be squished around a computer!

Your donation will help these children to learn and utilize technology in a way that will better prepare them for the realities of the outside world.
