My Project

My students are curious, imaginative, and eager to explore the world through technology—despite the challenges they face. Many come from underserved communities where access to high-quality digital tools is limited, yet they walk into class every day full of potential and ideas. What they need now is the right equipment to bring their creativity to life and prepare for a future powered by technology.

This Lenovo ThinkPad will be our classroom's creative engine.

With its powerful AI-ready capabilities, my students will be able to design presentations, edit videos, code games, conduct research, and bring their big ideas into reality. Whether we’re launching a STEM project, recording podcasts, or building slideshows to present our learning, this laptop will open doors that are currently closed to us. My goal is to give every student in my room access to real-world tech tools that reflect what they’ll encounter in future academic and professional settings—and to do it in a way that inspires confidence, collaboration, and pride.

With your support, this single device can become a launchpad for so many student dreams. Thank you for considering a gift that empowers young learners to think big and reach far.
