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

My students are full of energy and full of visions and Ideas, we are working on turning our school into a STEM school.

My students live in a very busy urban neighborhood.

They are exposed to high levels of crime since an early age, and poverty, they all qualify and receive free meals, a lot of these students don't have both parents around, yet they all have very positive minds and attitudes.

My Project

With this printer my students will bring their ideas to life and would be the first step towards a STEM school. These kids have many ideas of things they want to make. This equipment will open up a new gateway to their imagination. They will learn how to plan out through trial and error what it is that they wish to create.

These students are full of potential, full of love and great ideas.

This project will jump start their brain and self esteem. This project will prove to these kids that what ever it is they want to create, they can do exactly that and at the same time, inspire to do more.
