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

My 4th-8th grade STEAM students are bursting with creativity and curiosity, eager to bring their ideas to life. At our Title 1 school, resources are limited, but their determination to learn is boundless. This project will create a Maker Space with a 3D printer, acrylic sheets, filament, scissors, headphones, and hot glue, giving my students the tools to design, build, and innovate. From crafting earthquake-resistant structures to designing prototypes, these resources will enhance their problem-solving, collaboration, and critical thinking skills. With your support, we can turn their ideas into reality and inspire a future of creativity and innovation!
