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

We will be doing a unit on electrical engineering. These kits will allow students an opportunity to experience electricity and magnetism in action. Hands-on activity will enrich my students learning by taking it from a theoretical concept to a real world application.

Students will be able to explore the properties of and relationship between electricity and magnetism through hands-on labs using this STEM kit.

Students are excited to experience the material through experimentation and guided labs.

Additional items will help support other hands-on projects undertaken by students in this engineering design course.
