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

I am reaching out to you with excitement and a sense of purpose, seeking your support to provide my students with the materials needed for an engaging and interactive STEAM card project.

In our rapidly evolving world, it's crucial for students to develop skills in STEAM disciplines that will prepare them for future success.

With your generous contribution, we aim to equip our classroom with the necessary materials to embark on a hands-on STEAM card project that will ignite curiosity, foster creativity, and strengthen critical thinking skills.

The materials we need include cardstock paper to serve as the foundation for creating the interactive STEAM cards. We will need acrylic markers to add vibrant colors and illustrations to the cards, enhancing visual appeal and creativity.

Conductive tape, batteries, and circuits will help us incorporate elements of technology and engineering into the cards, allowing students to experiment with circuits and create interactive features.

With these materials, my students will have the opportunity to explore various STEAM concepts while engaging in a fun and interactive project. They will learn how to design and construct their own interactive cards, incorporating elements of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics in creative ways.

Your support will not only provide my students with access to essential materials but will also inspire a love for learning and exploration in STEAM disciplines. By investing in this project, you are empowering our students to become innovative problem solvers and future leaders in STEAM fields.

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of these young learners and equip them with the skills they need to thrive in an ever-changing world. Thank you for considering supporting our interactive STEAM card project!
