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

The United States needs more scientists and engineers. Some countries graduate more STEM students every year than we have total students. The biggest demographic in our universities over the past ten years has been people who identify as females.

As a society, we need to foster a love of science for all people.

Our science books are filled with stories that celebrate biological males and mostly marginalize others. Help me celebrate Women's History Month by highlighting the Women of Science which will help my students see a narrative that is dedicated to the furthering of our education system.
