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

In our rapidly evolving world, it is crucial to provide students with hands-on learning experiences that not only engage their creativity but also enhance their understanding of core subjects. We want to build this makerspace to create an environment where students can explore design, engineering, and mathematics through practical, real-world applications. To bring this vision to life, we are seeking to acquire three 3D printers and the necessary filament to get started.

Here’s how these resources will transform our classroom:

1. Enhancing Creativity and Problem-Solving

2. Deepening Understanding of Mathematical Concepts

3. Encouraging Collaborative Learning

Your generous donation will directly fund the purchase of the 3D printers and filament, setting the stage for a transformative learning experience. Every contribution, big or small, will make a meaningful difference in our students' education and growth.
