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 Students

CMS is located in Chaparral, New Mexico, in the southernmost part of New Mexico. Our school has a population of about 600, with at least 80% at the poverty level. With that being said, we are in dire need of anything and everything that is available.

My students would greatly benefit from the opportunity to work with quality materials.

They are eager to learn but are in need of proper materials to do so. Oh, the places they could go, if only they had the tools to so!

These students are ready to tackle this new STEM project. All we ask is that you help us in our journey to achieve our goal.

My Project

With the assistance of the referenced materials, my students will have the opportunity to build bridges hands-on. They will be able to design, construct, and test their bridges as they utilize their science know how, technology, engineering skills, and math computation to design the best bridge possible.

During the school day, students will learn about designing, accurate measurements, and weight capabilities of bridges.

They will research, and then continue on to the building process. These materials will enable them to experiment, design, build, and test their bridges. The collaboration will also enable them to work cooperatively with others in the class. Ultimately, bridge construction will be a success!
