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

We are transforming our Innovative Learning Commons into the AI Tinkery, a dynamic, hands-on space designed to give out Title I students in grades 3–5 early exposure to artificial intelligence. These materials are necessary to set up the lab. This initiative emphasizes safe and responsible AI learning while empowering students to design digital media, create original projects, and develop the skills needed to thrive in a digital world. The AI Tinkery will provide organizational tools, engaging presentation materials, and interactive resources that foster collaboration, creativity, and innovation.

Our students are diverse, creative, and full of potential.

Many don’t have access to advanced technology or maker spaces at home. This AI Tinkery will give every student the opportunity to explore technology, experiment with ideas, and develop skills for the future.

By supporting this project, you will help students imagine, create, and innovate. The Learning Commons will be a launchpad for ideas and discovery.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
