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 technology world keeps developing and changing every single day. I want for my students to be able to have the experience to be exposed to many different tools and technologies they would not be exposed to otherwise. This will give them the opportunity to explore, create, experiment, problem solve and more. I want to use this 3D printer with the students I serve but also let students school-wide get to experience this. We live in a small rural school where most students have not even gotten to see the city they live minutes from. I want to continue to give them authentic experiences they can keep with them for the rest of their lives.
