Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My students are excited to learn about the Lunar New Year! It is something not many of them have previously learned about, but it is so great to get involved in understanding of new and different cultures. They are dedicated engineering students who are excited and eager to learn about the world around them.

My students will be so thrilled and excited to celebrate the Lunar New Year, which is celebrated all across the globe, as we explore a variety of fun STEM challenges and books.

This project would give my students the resources needed to integrate the engineering Design Process to complete engineering challenges and increase our literacy skills while learning about the history, culture, and customs around the Lunar New Year.

My students are excited to learn how to apply their engineering skills in new ways with real-world applications while we learn about the Lunar New Year! Having resources will make these activities easier to provide for my students.
