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 goal is to provide students with laptops to help them grow as confident mathematicians and empowered learners. In today's digital age, access to technology is essential for success. With these laptops, students will be able to engage in interactive math programs and collaborate with their peers, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

By integrating technology into their daily learning, we aim to help students take ownership of their educational journey and become active stakeholders in their learning communities.

With these resources, they will not only improve their math skills but also develop the confidence and independence needed to succeed in the future.

Your support will make a lasting impact on their educational experience, helping us bridge the digital divide and create opportunities for growth. Together, we can empower the next generation of mathematicians!
