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 a teacher at a Title One School, that teaches 20 wonderful and ready-to-learn students with very little supplies.

Having several iPads will help my students to use compatible STEM Programs in the classroom, not only do the students enjoy hands-on experiences, but it also helps them to develop problem-solving skills that help build calculating, measuring, and using creativity to find solutions to everyday problems.

We received Learning Resources and STEM Programs, such as Osmo Coding, and Genius hands-on learning games, but no iPads and are in great need of several iPads for each resource.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
