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

My title I, STEM lab students are constantly learning and trying out new designs and innovating existing ones to solve real-world problems! In the spring semester, some students will learn architectural design and build their own to-scale model shed. The glowforge will allow students to learn adobe illustrator, and how to bring their design ideas to life. Also in the spring, other students will design and create simple machines and ultimately a Rube Goldberg. The glowforge will allow students to develop beautiful and unique designs during construction.
