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 excited to share an innovative project aimed at nurturing the coding skills of our students through hands-on, creative learning. As a dedicated teacher of color at a school where over 51% of our students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, I am committed to providing quality STEM education.

We aim to acquire LEGO Education Coding Kits, a dynamic tool that combines creativity, problem-solving, and coding in a fun and engaging manner.

The LEGO Education Coding Kits will empower our students to explore the world of coding in a hands-on, interactive way. Through this project, we aim to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity in our students, skills that are essential for success in the 21st century.

Thank you for considering our project. Your contribution will make a lasting difference in the lives of our students.

Sincerely,

Placido Ferreira
