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 integration of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math into learning experiences will inspire future innovators. Early education provides the fundamentals for critical thinkers and problem solvers and is a crucial time to integrate S.T.E.M. activities. These seat cushions and white boards will not only create a more colorful and fun classroom, but it will also be a tool for inspiring 21st-century learners. My students can rebuild the seating area based on their needs. Tying together Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math in lessons can be challenging, making these cushions the perfect tool to enhance learning and encourage enthusiasm for these concepts at a very early age.

The integration of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math into learning experiences will inspire future innovators.
