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

At our all-girls public school we are dedicated to fostering excellence in science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) through Project-Based Learning. To enhance their hands-on experiences, we seek essential tools like cordless multi-cutters and glue guns.

With a cordless multi-cutter and cordless glue gun, students can unleash their creativity in a safe and dynamic way, transforming their ideas into reality without limitations!

Our goal is to cultivate critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills, empowering these young women to become leaders in STEAM fields. Your support will provide the resources they need to overcome obstacles and achieve their full potential.

These two versatile tools are game-changers for the classroom! Both reusable and adaptable, they’re perfect for a wide range of projects, from crafting detailed 3D models to creating interactive prototypes. With these tools, students can engage in hands-on learning that brings their ideas to life while diving deeper into critical STEAM activities. At our school these girls are more than students—they are future engineers, scientists, artists, and leaders who are re-imagining what’s possible. They’re not just learning about the world—they’re shaping it.
