My Project

My students are fun, witty learners who are forgetful of many things. One of which is charging their laptops at home. I also have students who are responsible and hard-working, so much so that they tend to use all their laptop batteries during one class. I would like to make sure whatever the issue is, a charge is not going to be the reason why they do not learn. My goal for this project is to raise money to purchase three class power surge towers to keep my students' laptops charged throughout the class. I would also like to make sure they have a charge upon leaving class. This will allow my students to stay on task throughout the day.
