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'm excited to introduce the "STEM Exploration for 4th Graders" project, aimed at sparking my students' interest in technology and engineering through hands-on learning experiences.

We're requesting a laptop that allows us to work on STEM skills.

These resources will:

Foster Problem-Solving: Through hands-on projects, students will develop crucial problem-solving skills, encouraging them to experiment and persist in finding solutions.

My goals are to Ignite STEM Interest, Develop Critical Skills, and Ensure access. Our project seeks to nurture essential skills such as problem-solving, teamwork, and creativity, preparing students for future success. We want to ensure that every student, regardless of background, has equal access to quality STEM education.

My diverse group of 4th graders is marked by their curiosity and eagerness to learn. They bring unique perspectives and backgrounds to the classroom, united by their drive to explore the world of technology and engineering.
