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

Last year, I picked up a couple of these tools and it really made a difference on how my students interacted with cardboard to create new inventions. The second set of tools was recommended to me for younger students. Giving the younger and older students the same opportunities to be creative with cardboard. These tools will be used to help the students cut cardboard for their different projects.

Students will use a robotic kit and cardboard to build new inventions and the tools will help them make it easier to cut the cardboard.

The gloves will be used to teach them about being safe using these tools.
