My Project

5 Laptops, 1,000 Brilliant Minds—And a Few Dead Batteries!

Picture this: 1,000 middle schoolers with big dreams, coding skills… and laptops that are either uncharged, forgotten at home, or “mysteriously” broken.

That’s where these five laptops come in! We’re asking for a small but mighty fleet of computers to fill in the gaps when students’ personal devices need a timeout—whether for repairs, recharging, or rescue missions from their lockers.

These laptops will be lifesavers, keeping the learning going without a hitch. From designing robots to collaborating on STEM projects and completing digital assignments, they’ll ensure no student is left behind. Our goal is to create a safety net of tech resources so every student can stay engaged and prepared, no matter what their day throws at them.

What makes our students special? They’re innovators, problem-solvers, and occasionally forgetful. They thrive on creativity and teamwork, and these laptops will empower them to keep dreaming big—even when their own devices take a day off.

Help us bridge the gap, keep the momentum, and turn 5 laptops into 1,000 unstoppable opportunities!
