Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Imagine a classroom where every child has access to the tools they need to ignite their curiosity and creativity. We are committed to providing a STEM-focused education in a vibrant, multicultural, low-income community. However, we face a significant challenge: our school of over 200 students currently shares just 30 iPads.

Many of our students do not have personal devices at home, which further widens the technology gap.

This limited access to technology hinders our students from fully exploring essential learning programs like Edmentum, iReady, and Scratch Jr. Many of our students do not have personal devices at home, which further widens the technology gap.

By donating to our initiative, you can help us ensure that every Kindergarten student, and ultimately every child in our school, has their own iPad. This investment in their education will empower them to engage in hands-on learning, develop critical thinking skills, and foster a love for STEM subjects that will last a lifetime.

Your support will not just provide a device; it will open doors to a world of possibilities for our students. Together, we can make a transformative impact on their educational journey and help them thrive in an increasingly digital world.

Join us in this mission to equip our students with the tools they need to succeed. Your generous contribution will make a profound difference in the lives of our young learners. Thank you for considering supporting us and being a champion for our students in need.
