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

I am deeply passionate about my students' potential and their unique qualities that set them on a path towards excellence. My students are not just learners; they are the future innovators and creators of tomorrow. Their curiosity, resilience, and eagerness to explore the world of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics inspire me every day. I believe in providing them with every opportunity to thrive in the ever-evolving world of education. That's why I am reaching out to you for support in our latest endeavor. With your generous contribution, we aim to provide downloadable characters (SSBU Fighter Pass & Fighter Pass 2) for our students to compete in Esports, a rapidly growing field at the intersection of technology and sports.

This engaging platform will not only ignite their passion for STEM but also foster essential skills like problem-solving, teamwork, and strategic thinking.

Through friendly Esports competitions, our students will enhance their creativity and develop a deep understanding of the STEM concepts that underpin the games they love. Your support will enable us to transform their learning experience, helping them become the STEM leaders of tomorrow. Join us on this exciting journey as we equip our students with the tools, they need to succeed in the 21st century. Together, we can empower these bright minds and inspire a future filled with innovation and achievement. Thank you for making a difference in their lives.

Mr. Carlos Garza, M.Ed. Juarez - Lincoln High School Grades 9-12
