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

Resilient, positive, compassionate, and driven describe the scholars at my middle school. The obstacles the scholars have to overcome simply to make it to school would have many adults think of quitting and yet they succeed and thrive. The middle school is located in one of the poorest and most under-served neighborhoods in a large, rich city. They represent an array of abilities, beliefs, backgrounds, ethnicities, and identities. All of their differences unite them together in a beautiful way. The school has formed a strong community in which no scholar falls through the cracks and all have a chance at academic and social success.

My Project

This project is for learning how to solder and a bit of mechanical engineering. It will be used by students after they've finished their schoolwork and further learning later down the road. This can help with learning how a mechanical keyboard works and how it is produced by companies and why it can be cheap or pretty expensive. The keycaps in this project are for the typing part and are needed for using the keyboard comfortably. The keycap and switch puller are used for when we need to take out the switch from the PCB. Thank you for providing us the needed resources for this project as we have wanted to do this for a while.
