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

Our school is filled with curious, motivated students who love hands-on learning and exploring real-world applications of science and technology. Many of them dream of becoming engineers, pilots, or tech innovators but have limited access to the tools that can help turn those dreams into reality. They thrive when learning is interactive, immersive, and connected to their interests.

To bring the world of aviation to life, I’m requesting a high-performance gaming computer capable of running advanced flight simulation software like Microsoft Flight Simulator.

This setup will allow students to experience realistic flight scenarios, understand the principles of aerodynamics, and explore the geography of our planet in a way that textbooks simply can’t provide.

Flight simulation is more than a game—it’s a teaching tool. Students will learn to read instruments, follow flight plans, and understand the physics of flight. It’s also a fantastic way to develop critical skills like problem-solving, spatial reasoning, and persistence.

What We Need

We need a gaming-level PC with a powerful graphics card, fast processor, and enough memory to handle high-end simulation software smoothly. This computer will serve as the foundation for a dedicated flight simulation station in our classroom.

The Impact

With this computer, our students will be able to simulate takeoffs and landings, fly across continents, and even explore aviation history and future space flight. They will gain a deeper appreciation for STEM and possibly discover career paths they never considered.

For students who may have never been on a plane, this simulator brings the experience to them. With your support, we can make our classroom a launchpad for imagination, learning, and future careers.
