Lightweight Headphones, $214.80, 0.00% raised
Lightweight Headphones Rank:
Single Unit Why I need this:
I use a lot of video tutorials with my Architecture and Engineering students and it would be so much more beneficial to have headphones for each student versus asking them to bring in their own or having to deal with several different tutorials all going at once.
Quantity: 24 Price: $8.95
These lightweight stereo headphones can be personalized with a student or teacher name, classroom number or school!

I really need production tools and materials for my room. I'm in the process of trying to remake what was a board drafting room into a computer lab/prototyping lab. I have the computers as well as software such as Pro Engineer Wildfire 4.0 Schools Advanced and Solidworks, however, I could really use prototyping materials and tools as well as donations towards a 3D printer.
My Philosophy:
It's amazing how bright a student can shine when given a challenge, a reason to achieve, and some guidance.

Favorite Quotes:
In the race to be better or best, don't miss the joy in being. Successfulis the person who has lived well, laughed often and loved much, who has gained the respect of children, who leaves the world better than they found it, who has never lacked appreciation for the earth's beauty, who never fails to look for the best in others or give the best of themselves.
Interests:
Too many to list.

Why Do I Teach?:
I teach to give back to my students what several of my teachers gave to me, a chance to make something out of my life. I love the energy that the students bring to my day and the ever changing challenges that go with them. I teach because I want to make a difference in the world and what better way to do so than to start with our future.
