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

I serve as a Future Ready Librarian at a bilingual Title I school. We have 730+ students, ranging from kindergarten to sixth grade, with over 90% coming from low-income backgrounds. STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) projects are examples of project-based learning. STEM projects guide students in strengthening their inquiry, communication, and critical thinking skills. The 5 Set STEM kits and LEGO baseplates will develop the student's creativity, collaboration and teamwork skills, confidence, innovation, motivation, perseverance, and risk-taking.

My scholars need access to STEM project kits.

They love taking things apart and putting them together, so they need a variety of STEM resources to support their project-based learning activities and lessons.

To help my students complete their assigned STEM project tasks for the upcoming year, they need access to a well-stocked Makerspace. They need a variety of activities such as the STEM project sets, so they can explore and satisfy their curiosity about the world around them!
