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

Our school would like to create a shared space where students can engage in hands-on learning through research, STEM, literacy, math and science activities. We are seeking support to purchase the following materials: Hands-on STEM kits to facilitate experimentation and problem-solving, Math manipulatives and games to support mathematical understanding and skills like like Pop to Win Math Game, Science equipment and materials to support scientific inquiry and exploration like Survive the Quake Engineering Kit.

With these materials, our students will have the resources they need to engage in meaningful and interactive learning experiences in the Discovery Center.

Your support will help us create a dynamic and enriching space where students can discover, learn, and grow. We envision this space to be a place where students can explore their interests; nurture life long learners; encourage inquisitive minds and develop critical thinkers.

In order to fully realize this vision, we need these materials to foster these types of learning experiences. Your support will help us create a dynamic and enriching space where students can discover, learn and grow Thank you for considering this project!
