My Project

As we navigate the ever-changing education landscape, providing our students with the tools they need for success is paramount. Our district has equipped our students with new Chromebooks to facilitate their learning journey, enabling them to explore a world of knowledge at their fingertips. However, I have identified an essential requirement that requires your kind consideration. My students often engage in various learning activities that demand connectivity and versatility.

They often need to use peripherals such as headphones to listen to tutorials, mice for precise interactions and to create models using 3D CAD software, and flash drives to access and store learning materials.

Unfortunately, the limited number of USB ports on their Chromebooks challenges their ability to use these essential peripherals seamlessly.

To address this challenge and ensure my students have unhindered access to educational resources, I seek your support to acquire a class set of USB hubs. These hubs will not only expand the connectivity options of the Chromebooks but will also empower my students to engage with their studies in a more immersive and interactive manner.

Your support in acquiring these USB hubs will directly impact the quality of education my students receive and contribute to their overall academic success.
