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 Students

Do you remember the first time you played with Legos? Students at our school want to start a Lego Robotics team, but we need an NXT Mindstorms kit!

I work at a Title 1 school where math and science are not our students' favorite subject.

I want to change that by taking something kids already love, Legos, and showing them how fun math and science can be! Many of our kids have never thought about going to college or becoming an engineer. Help me challenge them to raise their expectations! We have so many smart students at our school who just do not have the resources they need to help them be successful learners. This project can expose them to experiences and people they cannot get anywhere else.

My Project

By providing this kit for our robotics team, you will be helping children not only raise their math and science skills, but also their self esteem and self confidence. With our kit, we can join in FIRST robotics competitions and set an awesome example for the rest of our school, inspiring others to reach higher! The basic NXT Mindstorms kit can be used over and over again, each year, which also provides for future students. Help make a difference in the lives of some amazing kids!

Helping my students discover that math and science can be accessible and fun will not only help my kids learn, it will also help raise their test scores.

Higher scores can open the door to new opportunities. You hold the key in your hands!
