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
Each year students in my 5th grade STEAM class learn about engineering and conclude it with a DC Motor Car Project. Students have always gotten in groups to design and build them, as we only have enough materials for a third of our class size.
This year, I'd like to provide them with enough engineering materials for each student.
They will use the DC motors, gears, battery holders, switches, wheels and additional materials to design and create their very own electrical car! The activity itself is something they've been looking forward to for some time.
I taught this same group of amazing students in 2nd grade, via Zoom, and I am more than eager to give them the hands on learning that they missed out on during the pandemic. More so, this class is especially eager to learn about electrical engineering. With your help they'll have enough materials to display that learning on their own.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
