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

We are the business robotics class and we would like to ask for STEM kits. My students host STEM events about 20 times a year. We reach out to 2,500 elementary and middle students each year. Our team is proud to have gained such an audience.

Our goal s to inspire young students to explore and be curious about the world around them.

My business students will be teaching elementary and middle school students about STEM with the volcano kits, car model kits, music box kit, Lego chain kits, and solar power kits.
