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

STEM based games are an invaluable educational tool that can inspire young students to learn while keeping them engaged. By incorporating science, technology, engineering, and math concepts into these interactive and entertaining games, students will be able to apply these concepts in a fun and engaging way.

These games provide students with a hands-on learning experience that allows them to problem solve, think critically, and collaborate with their peers.

Additionally, STEM based games can also help students develop important skills such as creativity, communication, and teamwork. Overall, STEM based games are a highly effective way to make learning enjoyable and meaningful for students of all ages. I will use these games and supplies to spark their creativity and increase their ability to learn teamwork along with teaching them in a fun and captivating way.
