My Students

Computers are fantastic instruments when they work but when they do not it can be a source of frustration. My students need to eliminate their frustrations and be able to do more with graphics in their presentations for our science class.

My fantastic science students are wonderful young ladies and men who want to do well in school.

They are from a rural area with lots of agriculture and the industry that has been in the area has been outsourced leaving them little options for a clear future in the county. My high school is 53% white, 45% African American and 3% Hispanic but they all have the desire to be successful in their career paths. This is hard for them since 83% of my school is on free and reduced lunch and that is up 10% from five years ago.

My Project

My biology students are very interested in computers and many are enrolled in the Graphic Design class at our high school. However, the only place they can use a Mac computer in our district is in the Graphic Design class. Many of my students create fantastic presentations for our units in biology using the Mac computers. They complete these projects during their Graphics Arts class when they have completed their work, during lunch or will stay after school. The problem becomes a compatibility issue they open these projects on a PC computer. It is heartbreaking to watch their faces drop in despair when they realize the graphics they put in the project are not compatible with the PC computer in our room (even after they were warned of the issue) and the kids are disappointed after they spent time and are so excited about their project. With the Mac Book Pro, we will be able to take care of our compatibility issues and students will be able to work on their projects during class.

Please give my students a chance to learn more about Mac computers and help us with our compatibility issues for our projects.

Your donation will help students see there are other options besides PC computers and save them frustrations and disappointments.
