Goal

Teach IT Academy students skill of repairing cracked mobile phone screens 

 

What will be done with my students

Initial funding will be the seed to start an IT Academy student-run business of repairing broken phone screens. I am constantly amazed at the number of students (and adults) whose phone screens are badly damaged. Apple charges $99 to repair a screen. Replacement screens can be purchased for around $15 but special tools and skills are required to successfully make the repairs. Funding request is for a screen repair kit and 10 replacement screens. Students will run a small school business to learn how to make the repairs for the makes and models of phones of their customers. 

 

Benefits to my students

IT Academy students learn a valuable skill of mobile phone screen repair. Customers receive the benefit of having their phone repaired at a cost 80% lower than retail cost. Students learn the challenges of running a small business enterprise.
