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 seeking support for a series of innovative, hands-on STEM projects that I would love to do that are designed to ignite creativity and foster critical thinking in our students. Your donation would go provide the materials needed for these exciting projects, such as building and racing robotic boats on a water track, creating wearable tech art in our coding club, and constructing a house that will be transported using Brain Flakes, inspired by the beloved Minnie book. These projects will not only enhance our students' understanding of robotics, coding, and engineering but will also bring literature to life in our classroom, creating an engaging and dynamic learning experience. Your generosity will help us equip our students with the skills they need for the future, while making learning both fun and meaningful.
