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 will use these craft materials to create numerous stem projects. In Kindergarten, my students start learning about being an engineer. They will use these craft materials to learn about the engineer design process while building something out of a box and other craft materials. When they get into the first grade the students will learn how to create craft projects that they can connect to the computer and interact with the computer. These craft materials will be used in many classrooms in elementary school.

Help my students become engineers for the future.
