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 Students

My students are the most inspiring students in the NYC area. Not only do I teach them but they also teach me. I teach them science and how to be empathetic and they teach me the power of learning and the wonder of discovery! I need books for my youngest students - the earlier they are introduced to science and STEM careers the better!

Help me bring STEM to children in a poverty stricken neighborhood in the Bronx, New York, and inspire them to become the scientists of our future.

They are the most resilient children I have ever had the pleasure of teaching. With your generosity, I can make the love of science and engineering come alive in their hearts!

My Project

Do you remember as a young child, learning about the most exciting scientific principles? As a science teacher, I want my students to feel the same excitement of learning about the world around them as I did as a student and now as a teacher! Unfortunately, my classroom library is full of old and outdated books! I need STEM and science titles that I can use in the classroom and in remote instruction!

My students are so engaged when they come into my classroom, they never want to leave!

I have students always asking for more science projects and experiments. With your help, I can give our youngest students STEM lessons to make their scientific lives more exciting and engaging!
