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

My 12 energetic and enthusiastic autistic kids will love using hands-on learning through the design-build engineering center. These materials will be provide them with opportunities to practice science skills while we foster their curiosity.

By exposing my students to STEM and giving them opportunities to explore

STEM-related concepts, they will transfer their learning into real-life skills.

STEM materials will allow my students to access the grade-level appropriate activities to master the curriculum needs. I am exposing my students to STEM and giving them opportunities to explore all levels of ability. Even within one team, various ability levels can work together and learn together. Building engineering activities provide hands-on and mind-on lessons for the student. They are making the learning process fun and enjoyable.
