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 thrilled about the opportunity to engage in professional development that will elevate STEM learning in my classroom. This training will empower me with innovative strategies and tools to create an engaging, high-level educational experience tailored to inspire and challenge my students. I’m eager to expand my knowledge and skills to design hands-on, real-world STEM activities that foster critical thinking, creativity, and a love for discovery. Specific resources, like science magazines, will enrich our lessons by providing students with engaging, real-world content that sparks curiosity and builds literacy in STEM topics. Basic tools like computer mice, speakers, and additional power outlets are essential to ensuring our technology-based projects run smoothly and enhance learning for every student. Your support in providing these items, along with other classroom supplies, helps meet our diverse needs and ensures our students have the resources they need to succeed. Together, we can create a vibrant and dynamic STEM learning environment!
