Help me give my students the opportunity to hold a holographic tool in their hands so students will be able to explore 3D objects, visit museums, and explore human anatomy and our solar system through Augmented Reality apps.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sicre's classroom raised $489

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 Students
My students inspire me everyday. Their enthusiasm and curiosity is why I love being an educator. They are always up for a challenge and we have enjoyed learning together everyday. The transition to distance learning was very difficult to adjust to. Beginning this school year, at home will no doubt affect their usual excitement due to this new landscape.
These tools will allow me to design engaging, interactive activities that can be done at home or individually, in a socially distanced classroom that will get my students excited to come to class!
As a STEM teacher, I cover topics such as the scientific method, weather, space, and human anatomy. There are many apps available to use with Merge Cube that will allow students to explore these concepts in the palm of their hands through holographic visuals. This experience can be enjoyed by all students regardless of any learning barrier such as disability or language.
My Project
As a STEM teacher, I am always trying to challenge my students to grow their critical thinking, communication, creativity and collaboration skills. These merge cubes can help supplement my STEM lessons in an engaging way that most have never experienced before. Many students have been in quarantine since March as Miami has been a hotspot for Covid-19 for many months. We will be learning from home for the first month of school, and then socially distancing our classrooms after that.
These innovative technology tools will motivate and engage my students during these difficult times.
Imagine holding a pumping human heart or the sun in your hands. Florida's Next Generation Sunshine State Standards for Science will never be the same!
