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

Minecraft-themed esports lounge decor, will create a vibrant and inclusive environment for all students during. The predominantly Hispanic student population can feel a stronger sense of belonging and cultural representation with these additions.

The Minecraft-themed decor for the student esports lounge can serve as a visual representation of a popular game that many students enjoy, fostering a connection and providing a source of inspiration.

Our Argo Esports Lounge provides a cozy and comfortable space for students to relax and unwind while at school, encouraging a sense of relaxation and well-being.

Finally, Minecraft-themed lighting can add a touch of excitement and color, creating an engaging atmosphere and making the space visually appealing. This combined effort will enhance the student experience, allowing all students to feel more at ease and providing a positive impact on their overall well-being.
