My Project

The technology classroom is always a fun place to go. From robotics to laser cutting, 3D printing to video game design, there are many different types of materials we use in the room. However, as a result of having so many different options for our students to explore, keeping everything charged can sometimes turn into chaos. With chords going every which way and things unknowingly getting unplugged, there are times we don't have devices ready to go for projects.

These charging units will help clean up and organize the classroom and ensure that all the devices that the students need are ready to go when they need them.

This in turn will help student success by ensuring they have the tools they need every time they step into the tech lab.
