Celebrating 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
Kofi Annan said, "Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress." In my classroom, I see this truth unfold each day with my gifted and talented 6th and 8th graders.
Their thirst for challenge inspires me, and I dream of igniting their full potential, but our classroom lacks the resources to unleash it.
These curious, diverse minds, many from families needing extra support, deserve the tools to compete nationally and prepare for college and future careers.
Imagine them tackling real-world problems with STEM solutions. Not just textbooks, but 3D printers will become their canvas, turning abstract concepts into tangible engineering and coding projects with practical applications. These creations won't just spark learning, they could propel them to compete in the International Science and Engineering Fair and ECybermission.
These vibrant minds deserve more than just textbooks. They crave the spark of engaging, thought-provoking activities that will build confidence, fuel motivation, and amplify their learning. With your help, we can provide that spark and light the way for these remarkable young minds to reach their full potential.
More than half of students from low‑income households
