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 work with an amazing group of Gifted and Talented students at my school. They are eager to learn, excited about the research we do and have a curiosity that is contagious.

Practical and fun engineering activities will give these girls a clear understanding of what they could do in a STEM care

This will reinforce the concepts in a fun way that’s more likely to keep them interested. There are many other benefits of using these activities in a classroom; they give students a brain break that in turn allows them to focus longer, encourages problem solving and working together and it gives them a chance to act like kids and just play together.
