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

Please consider my project for obtaining a color printer and working laptop for my students to be able to continue their science fair projects. The school does not have much working technology for my 6th grade students and in order for them to have a fair chance at advancing in science fairs, they need these two items. Science Fairs at Regional and State level are crucial to my young scientists success in the present and future. Though, in order to advance, they need a color printer and working laptop for their presentations and research. We are the school with the most low socio eco status and for some of my students the only opportunity they get to travel out of the city and even their neighborhoods is by competing in science fair. They also gain presentation and speaking skills by presenting their data and research to scientists and researchers at these competitions. Thank you for considering my Scientist Donors Choose project. We start science project research this month.
