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

This project aims to use the excitement of Dungeons & Dragons (DnD) to help my students learn STEM concepts in an engaging and hands-on way. By providing dice, dice trays, DM screens, and the player's handbook, my students will explore important skills like probability, strategy, and problem-solving in a fun, interactive environment.

The dice will help them visualize the concepts of chance and probability, while the dice trays will keep their learning space organized and foster a more focused approach to gameplay.

The DM screens will allow students to manage information, plan strategies, and enhance their decision-making abilities. With the Player’s Handbook, students will have a guide to understand complex rules, creating opportunities for critical thinking and teamwork.

My students are unique in their creativity and enthusiasm for learning, and this project will provide them with an innovative way to apply their imaginations to real-world STEM challenges. My goal is to create an immersive, collaborative learning environment that encourages both academic and personal growth through the captivating world of DnD.
