A Fighting Chance: Creating Equitable, Tech-Driven Lessons for Multilingual Learners

Help me give my students a fighting chance—that’s what my multilingual learners deserve. With a MacBook Pro, I can create visual, scaffolded, AI-powered lessons that break language barriers and ensure every student feels seen, supported, and empowered.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I teach over 60 amazing multilingual learners who are learning English while adjusting to a new culture and school system. They are smart, resilient, and eager to succeed, but they face real challenges. To support them, I create lessons with visuals, scaffolds, and language supports that help them understand content and build confidence.

Right now, my outdated laptop makes it hard to design the materials my students need.

A MacBook Pro will allow me to create high-quality, AI-powered resources that are faster, more engaging, and more effective. With your help, I can give my students lessons that reflect who they are and help them thrive in the classroom and beyond.
