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

My students love to create, explore, and express themselves through hands-on projects in our school’s Makerspace club. However, many of the materials we use are consumable, and once they’re gone, they’re gone! That’s why we need your help to keep our creative space stocked with engaging supplies like clay, yarn, watercolor paints, clay tools, and Shrinky Dinks.

These materials will allow students to build, paint, sculpt, and design, helping them develop fine motor skills, problem-solving abilities, and a love for making.

Whether they’re molding clay into unique sculptures, experimenting with watercolor techniques, or crafting keychains with Shrinky Dinks, each project helps them grow in confidence and creativity.

With your support, we can continue providing these valuable hands-on experiences to our students. Thank you for helping our young makers bring their ideas to life!
