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

At our school, we are always looking for ways to create joyful, inspiring spaces that fuel creativity and wonder. With your help, we can bring the magic of rainbows into our classrooms through solar-powered rainbow makers!

These small devices use sunlight to scatter beautiful, colorful rainbows across the room; they’ll brighten up learning spaces, spark curiosity, and provide students with moments of awe and joy throughout their day.

In a time when students need uplifting experiences more than ever, these rainbow makers can transform a classroom into a place of light and inspiration.

Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these rainbow makers also offer a unique opportunity to connect learning with nature and sustainability. By using solar power, students will witness renewable energy in action, prompting conversations about science, light, and environmental responsibility in a fun and approachable way.

Help us bring a little more magic to our school! Your support will create colorful, welcoming spaces that remind students to look for the beauty in every day — and that learning is truly a bright and brilliant experience.
