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 students I work with are hard working and caring students that have so much going on outside of school. They work, cook, clean, and take care of their brothers and sisters as well as their families. Giving them this experience will help them learn the human body and it will show that that science is fun and it could inspire some of the students to become a doctor or a nurse one day. The students at my school really deserve a project like this so that they can learn and grow and maybe teach someone else about the organs in a body and about science.

The school I work at is a High School in the Oak Cliff Area in Dallas, Texas.

For those who do know this is South Dallas and the students here don't get opportunities to have fun with science. I have seen little projects like a strawberry DNA lab, where students get to extract DNA from a strawberry, make a big impact on students thinking about their future and a career in science.

I believe this dissection laboratory will make a big impact on students and their futures.
