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 Canon zoom lens will be an excellent classroom tool for capturing things on the go. Our students enjoy exploring things on the go in nature and their surroundings. Students can actively capture their classroom learning of animals, vehicles, and movement. They will photograph STEM activities on the go, such as 3D race cars, boats, and more. Students can capture their step-by-step learning, documenting the process and not just the product.

Students will utilize the camera lens to explore STEM activities, things in nature, and vehicles to document their project-based learning.

They will actively engage in their education by learning how to zoom in and out while photographing things of interest that stimulate future projects and engage them in learning. Students at this age need a ton of visuals. They can use the camera lens to photograph themselves in action and create printed visuals to utilize in the classroom.

Learning happens quickly. The Canon camera lens will capture these moments for our students as they embark on their educational journey.
