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

I am so excited about trying to expanding my school's makerspace to include animation-focused activities. As an educator, I'm always looking for ways to ignite the curiosity and creativity of my students, and I believe this could be a wonderful addition to my STEM curriculum.

The specific items I'm requesting, such as materials for stop-motion animation and supplies for creating flip books, will make a significant difference in our students' learning.

These hands-on, project-based activities will allow them to explore their interests in animation, bring their ideas to life, and develop valuable skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, and artistic expression.

My goal for this project is to create a dynamic and engaging space where students can freely explore their passions, experiment with different media, and collaborate with their peers. I believe this aligns perfectly with my school's mission to foster well-rounded, curious, and adaptable learners.

What makes my students so special is their boundless enthusiasm and creativity. They are always eager to dive into new challenges and share their unique perspectives. By providing them with the resources to pursue their animation interests, I'm confident I can nurture their talents, inspire their imaginations, and empower them to become confident, self-directed learners.
