Charged, Secure, and Ready for Research

My students need a safe and secure place to store and charge their new laptops in our library. This charging cart will do both so students can use them often and for years to come.

My Students

The students at my school are a diverse group of young strong minds. They are growing up in Harlem, a changing and beautiful community. They are curious and and open minded. Our school is a PreK-8th grade school full of siblings and generations of love.

In many ways they have the world at their fingertips; a swipe of the metrocard and they can see "the greatest city in the world." They've experienced a lot.

Like all children they are learning to process so much information and calibrate it in meaningful ways.

My Project

I am so grateful to have received new laptops for our students to use in the library for research. In order to keep them charged and secure for everyone's use we need a locked charging cart. The students will become independent at caring for them, passing them out, collecting them, and charging them between classes. I can't wait to use all this new technology to support their interests across grades and across curriculum. I know it will motivate them and inspire them to grow as learners and thinkers. Without basic technology skills beyond their smart phones and the quickest search engines, we are holding students back from meeting their greatest potential.
