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

Today I am asking for your help to add STEM opportunities to the MakerSpace corner in my elementary school classroom.

Adding a maker space to a class can enhance learning by fostering hands-on, creative, and collaborative experiences, which in turn develop problem-solving, critical thinking, and resilience skills, ultimately preparing students for the future.

The addition of items the students can play with, dry erase boards for the students to be able to write and draw their math and science findings on, as well as two Break-out EDU kits to add to our classroom to expand our math and science learning will enhance our classroom learning in a variety of ways.

The MakerSpace corner provides opportunities to engage their brains, independently or socially, in unstructured time while allowing them to be creative and/or think outside the box by dabbling in arts & crafts, STEM activities, building, problem-solving and so much more.

The Break Out Edu kits will be a unique way to make our learning fun and engaging and something the students in our rural area will have not experienced before. It will help with collaborative problem-solving, incorporate technology, and still help build curriculum knowledge.

Thank you for your consideration and for providing elementary-age students the opportunity to expand their knowledge and understanding of the STEM world.

Mrs. Putnam will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by July 18.
