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

In today’s world, where information and technology are always changing, students need to have a strong understanding of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). The National Science Foundation says that improving students' skills in these subjects is essential for future success.

As a teacher, I get to work with a fantastic group of students who are excited about learning.

They make every day enjoyable as we explore new topics together. Even though they come from different backgrounds and some face financial challenges, they are among the most dedicated and impressive learners I have ever taught.

I am determined to give all my students, no matter their financial situation, the chance to explore the exciting world of STEM. Getting involved with STEM early can open many doors for their future.

The kits we will use are great tools for students to check their progress, see where they can improve, and make their learning experience even better. They will work together to make a car move.

To introduce my students to STEM, this hands-on activity not only makes learning engaging but also helps students grasp foundational aviation concepts in a tangible way. This will be a great way to learn about STEM. I am requesting a variety of kits they will build together and complete as a class.
