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

Have you ever turned on a laptop only to discover that it is not compatible with a device?

Please help my students have access to all their technology needs!

We are requesting an Apple MacBook to give us access to various apps and will help us connect to our Lego and Dash robot. This laptop will benefit my students by allowing them to actively engage in their learning. This laptop can be easily passed around from student to student, allowing them each an opportunity to code and to use different apps. This laptop will capture the students' attention and make learning fun!

Students will greatly benefit from having a laptop with current technology in the classroom in order to become more actively engaged in lessons. Not only will the laptop be used to enhance STEM lessons, but it will also be available for the students to use during class to connect to our 3D printer!
