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

A makerspace is an area in a classroom stocked with creative and technological tools. Students can use the tools in the makerspace to create projects or crafts based on their own interests or things they’re currently studying in class. Please help give my students a tray closet and microscope storage cart that will be used as their makerspace! This will help give them an easy and safe way to access and find all materials while also staying organized and ensuring materials don’t get damaged!

Makerspaces help students build creative and critical thinking skills that apply to their overall academic careers

Makerspaces help students learn to view their academic abilities with a growth mindset, or the belief that they are capable of improvement. A student who struggles or doesn’t believe in their abilities with a subject, makerspaces can provide a safe space for them to learn and grow. It also allows students to view every object as a technology capable of being used in a outside of the box way.
