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

The main costly STEM items in my cart are the robots. I would like to provide the opportunity for my entire class to experience building and coding a robot for a specific task. I can have them work in 5 small groups.

STEM education is a great way to cultivate innovative thinking, inspire creativity, and work on collaboration and communication skills.

The STEM games I am requesting will help foster in my students these amazing assets listed above so they are 21st century successful. Thank you in advance for your contribution.
