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

My students are naturally curious about the world around them, and there's no better way to harness that curiosity than by helping them explore and understand the environment. With your support, I want to provide hands-on materials that bring environmental science to life by using 3D printing and using our garden as a place to use our board games and explore the outdoors.

Our classroom is full of bright, motivated learners who thrive when they can explore topics in real, tangible ways.

Right now, we are limited in the materials we have to offer students meaningful environmental experiences. That’s why we’re seeking your help.
