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 incredibly proud of my student's curiosity and creativity. They are enthusiastic learners who thrive when they can explore and build their ideas. Each resource in this project will support our goal of blending digital and real-world experiences to enhance their learning. Using games like Minecraft Education and LEGO Fortnite, my students engage in gameplay that develops critical thinking and problem-solving skills. They enjoy the challenge of building new knowledge in these virtual environments and are equally excited to translate those skills into real-life projects. The 3 doodler pens will provide them with the hands-on experience they crave, allowing them to bring their imaginative game builds into the physical world. This project will foster a deeper understanding of STEAM concepts and inspire a lifelong love of learning through play and creativity.
