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 specific item I’m requesting will help create a nurturing and encouraging environment where students feel safe to express themselves through music. By incorporating supportive features like voice enhancement, positive feedback, and interactive cheering, students will build confidence, communication skills, and emotional well-being. This karaoke experience isn’t just about singing—it’s about fostering self-esteem, collaboration, and a sense of belonging in a warm, caring space.

My goal is to provide students with a platform that encourages self-expression, creativity, and emotional growth.

Through Care-aoke, students will develop communication skills, overcome stage fright, and experience the joy of music in a supportive, judgment-free zone. I want this to be a tool for stress relief, connection, and encouragement, helping students not only academically but emotionally as well.

My students are resilient, creative, and full of potential. Each of them brings a unique voice and story, and they thrive when they feel supported and cared for. Many of them face challenges that make self-expression difficult, and I want to give them a warm, uplifting space where they feel valued and heard. Care-aoke isn’t just about singing—it’s about creating a community of kindness, encouragement, and joy where every student feels empowered to shine.
