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

Coding helps kids express their creativity and develop critical thinking, as they problem solve while working collaboratively with their peers! Collaboration encourages and enhances communication skills. By having these hands-on experiences, students will be able to interact, collaborate, solve problems and focus on increasing their learning!

By donating to our project, you will not only help increase student interaction and communication skills, you will ultimately spark an interest in future careers in technology!

Coding will empower students to be persistent using the trial-and-error process to motivate students to continue to pursue success! Plus in this technology literate world, their interaction with other classmates will enable them to develop career and college ready skills!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
