Celebrating 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
In the wake of COVID-19, the educational landscape has dramatically changed, posing unique challenges and opportunities for our students. The pandemic has significantly disrupted traditional learning models, leading to gaps in both academic and social-emotional development. As we transition back to classroom learning, it's crucial to address these challenges head-on.
Our classroom is at a pivotal point.
We have an opportunity to re-engage and inspire our students, particularly in the fields of science and engineering. This is where we need your support. The requested supplies are not just tools; they are catalysts for collaborative learning and hands-on exploration. They are essential in fostering a learning environment that bridges the gap caused by the pandemic. We are requesting Young Scientist Heart Dissection Kit, Tri-Fold Display Boards, METALWARE KIT and more.
Engineering and science projects enable students to work in teams, promoting social interaction and emotional connection, which have been greatly missed. These activities also stimulate critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills, aligning perfectly with our academic goals in this new era of learning.
Your contribution will directly impact the lives of our students, helping them to regain lost ground and thrive in a post-COVID-19 world. Together, we can rebuild a foundation for lifelong learning and curiosity. Let's equip our future engineers and scientists with the resources they need to explore, create, and innovate.
More than half of students from low‑income households
