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

To bring this exciting and engaging learning opportunity to my eager students, I am requesting funding for essential materials including mini electric car kits, versatile LEGO sets, and thoughtfully selected board games. These resources will enable them to dive into hands-on STEM exploration, fostering a deeper understanding of basic electrical circuits and mechanical principles. Through the engineering design process, they will develop crucial critical thinking and problem-solving skills as they plan, build, test, and refine their mini-car creations. This project will culminate in a fun and collaborative end-of-year 'Mini-Makers Challenge,' celebrating their achievements and solidifying their learning. Your generous contribution will directly empower my students to become confident young engineers and innovative problem-solvers, sparking a lifelong interest in STEM fields.
