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

I am continually looking for ways to challenge my students and I love they way they accept and rise to the challenges. The STEM games in this project will allow my students to continue to stretch their imaginations. They will be able to create many different structures and solve different puzzles as a follow-up to lessons involving STEM components. I have requested items that will allow students to be open to the possibility of inventions that combine household materials in order to use science and engineering techniques in their creations.

My goal is to help students understand that there is no limit to what they can do as long as they keep trying.

The Engineering Design Process specifically focuses on creating and improving the work that you do to solve problems. That is our focus this year.

Ms. Johnson Broad Rock Elementary School Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
