My Project

Dear Future Donors,

This project is focused on creating a classroom conducive for learning.

The students need classroom ventilation to stay focused on their learning. Students will be encouraged to keep their mobile phones in a storage during class to avoid distractions. Students need the magnetic whiteboard and document camera for classroom instruction and activities.

To make students more comfortable and focused on their learning, they need at least one classroom air conditioner.

Students need a cellphone storage where they can keep their phones to avoid distractions. Students' focus will be increased.

The use of a mobile magnetic white board will provide a flexible, interactive, and versatile solution for presentations, collaboration, teaching, and brainstorming. This can also help develop awareness of time, time management skills and personal responsibility in students.

The document camera is a classroom technology that students can easily use to present projects and assignments. Additional scanning and preparation is not needed allowing for instant comment on a live image display.

Helping this project to be funded will have a great impact on my students' opportunities to learn.

Thank you very much for your support.
