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

My students love hands-on learning, and this project will bring STEM to life in an exciting and engaging way! We will assemble the Arcade1Up Full-Size Claw Machine as part of a STEM project, allowing students to explore engineering, mechanics, and problem-solving in a fun, real-world application.

They’ll learn about circuits, motors, and physics while working together to build and troubleshoot the machine.

Once completed, the claw machine will serve as an interactive reward system filled with assorted plush toys. Students will have the chance to earn plays through positive behavior, academic achievements, and participation, turning their hard work into a fun and motivating experience. This project not only fosters a love for STEM but also encourages teamwork, perseverance, and a growth mindset!

With your support, my students will gain valuable STEM skills and enjoy a unique and engaging way to celebrate their successes. Thank you for helping us create a "claw-some" learning experience!
