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 curious about how the world works. Their curiosity drives their learning. In today's world, it is crucial for children to know how computers work. It is important for students to learn about how computers work for several reasons.

Understanding the inner workings of computers can help students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

They learn how to troubleshoot and fix simple issues with computers.

It can help students understand the technology they use on a daily basis. Understanding how computers work can make students more confident and capable users of technology.

Learning about computers can also help students develop an interest in computer science and related fields. It can be a gateway for students to explore career opportunities in technology.

In today's world, technology is ubiquitous and learning about computers can help students become more digitally literate.

Furthermore, it can also help them be more aware of the potentials and risks of technology, and how to use it in a responsible and safe way.

Overall, understanding how computers work can help students develop important skills and knowledge that will be valuable in their future studies and careers. Your donation will help make this possible.
