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

The materials I am requesting are for helping my students create a STEAM environment project. They are so interested in both technology and literacy. With this, we could practice printing book characters, create reading-buddies to read with, and so much more!

I feel that a 3D printer in the library will help grow their curious minds, and understand that our library is a STEAM library where they can learn and hone their creative minds.

The 3D printer will introduce and encourage boys and girls to have a lifelong love for technology and literacy. I feel it is important that students understand and grow their technological skills. Please help fund this project so that all students here can use their creativity to create something special in the library.
