My Students

Do you know how difficult it is to hear an announcement in a crowded room?

My students are children who come from low income families.

They like to participate in special activities and school program, but need the equipment that will help to project their voices. The age range of my students are from 2.5 to 5 years old. Students attend a school in California.

My Project

It is difficult to do a school performance in a crowded room without an amplifier. My school needs a PA system so children and adults could adequately listen to performances. Our staff and children need to be heard during school performances. Children will have an higher self-esteem when they hear clearly during their school performances.

This project is very beneficial for our school because it will help to prepare our students for public speaking.

Most young students are shy and soft spoken. When speaking from a microphone, children develop a higher level of self confidence because they are able to hear their voice projected louder as they speak.
