Power To the Students!

Help me give my students two portable power stations since I have two groups in my room that don’t have access to power strips because they are situated in the middle of the room, and I cannot run power cords to them.

My Project

Considering we use Chromebooks every day, students need to charge them. We, of course, ask our kids to charge them prior to school, but let's be realistic here. They are kids, and they occasionally forget.

Many of my students work or do numorous extracurricular activities, and they get home late without thinking about plugging in their Chromebook.

I believe that it is also wrong to tell students that they can't participate because they don't have charged Chromebooks. At that point, they become a distraction. Let's give them the power they need so that they can participate, learn, and be engaged in learning.

Currently, my groups near the wall have power strips, but my middle groups do not have access to power and my district/school frowns upon running extension cords to them because of liability issues. These power banks can be charged overnight and can handle at least two of the students at a time at a group. I think these two power banks would be ideal for these two groups.
