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

What I love most about my students is their boundless curiosity and creativity. Each day, they come to class eager to explore new ideas, ask insightful questions, and enthusiastically tackle challenges. Their diverse perspectives and unique talents create a vibrant and dynamic learning environment where every student contributes to our collective growth. It's truly inspiring to witness their resilience and determination as they embrace new opportunities and strive to achieve their best.

The Cricut machine and supplies will significantly enhance their learning by providing hands-on experiences that bridge creativity and STEM education.

This versatile tool will enable students to bring their designs to life, reinforcing concepts in engineering and technology. By creating prototypes and models, they'll understand the practical applications of their theoretical knowledge. Learning to use Cricut's design software will enhance their digital literacy and technical skills. Students will gain experience in graphic design, precise measurement, and layout planning, which are essential skills in many STEM fields.

The variety of materials—such as vinyl, paper, and fabric—will allow students to experiment with different textures and properties, fostering a deeper understanding of material science. They will learn to choose the appropriate materials for their projects, promoting critical thinking and problem-solving.

These resources will empower my students to explore the intersection of creativity and STEM, equipping them with the skills and confidence they need to thrive in an ever-evolving world.
