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

I am a grades K-5 STEM Science teacher in Jamaica Queens NY.

Our goal is to bring 3D printers to our STEM classroom.

I have the honor and privilege of working with students who are amazing, curious, innovative, and creative thinkers. This project is not only a dream for our students but it is a project that can actually bring their ideas and thinking to life. 3D printers in our classroom are also a completely new experience for our students. It will help design amazing learning experiences, encourage experimentation, teamwork, problem-solving, help solve real-world problems and encourage the creation of responsible digital citizens!
