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

Imagine walking into a classroom that doesn’t feel like a classroom at all, but rather a cozy, inviting space where creativity flows and learning comes naturally. This is the vision I have for my science students—a comfortable, library-inspired environment that encourages them to dive deeply into independent research, collaborate with peers, and nurture a love for learning.

As a science teacher, I see firsthand how transforming a space transforms minds.

With resources like couches, rugs, and a coffee table, I can create a flexible learning environment where students can break away from the rigidity of desks and chairs. This space will empower them to explore science topics independently, brainstorm ideas, and engage in critical thinking while feeling at ease.
