  • Magnetic Chargers for Quicker Cleanup

    Funded Mar 26, 2025

    Thanks to your contribution, you have helped equip my classroom with these novel charging connectors. Immediately, students were enthralled, confused, amused, and curious about these new, twinkling blue light devices. Most students did not know what they were. Less than 5 students knew they were magnets, and no students did not know they charged the chromebooks. Despite some necessary training, students quickly learned, understood, and used the magnetic chargers to rapidly connect and recharge our devices. This allowed us to shorten return time dramatically and get students out of class in record time. Thank you for giving back our class instruction time!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Nguyen

  • Flight Simulation Aviation for Two Co Pilots

    Funded Dec 3, 2024

    Not all students have access to flight training. Providing these simulators and laptops democratizes access to aviation learning and promotes students towards careers they don't consider due to financial or geographical constraints. These flight simulators have provided hands-on learning that goes beyond textbooks allowing students to understand aerodynamics, navigation, and flight mechanics in an interactive way. This donation has been a positive contribution to esports and our school. It has made aviation education more engaging, inclusive, and focused for our class environment.”

  • Moar Desktop Moar eSports

    Funded Dec 1, 2024

    eSports is a program at highschool that I never dreamed would be a reality. These students are experiencing a unique, and valuable leadership opportunity. Your contribution has helped reach more students and provided more opportunities for more students to participate and lead. The new devices are better than the previous one and are essential to allowing us to compete in these new upcoming titles. Without your contribution, we would not be able to compete or play in these new game titles coming out.”
