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

As a new school year begins, I am filled with excitement and ideas to bring students joy and learning in the classroom.

In order for students to succeed in their science education, they need hands on learning fueled by projects and engineering explorations.

To develop our young people into leaders for the future with strong critical thinking skills, I will create engaging activities that fuel their curiosity and make learning fun.

Middle school is an important chapter of development where peak interest in STEM fields should be cultivated. These supplies will make learning accessible for all types of learners.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
