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 STEM students will use the supplies to get creative with their learning through things like stop-motion animation, paper circuits, and a variety of other engineering projects.

The students will be able to use their STEM skills in a creative way to display their learning with self-selected creative projects.

The supplies (wiggle eyes, Diodes Kit, color cardstock, double-sided foam tape, scissors, foam sheets, color pipe cleaners, paint brush sets, paper cutter trimmer, and modeling clay) requested will be added to our classroom recycled supplies of cardboard, containers, and other discards to foster creative learning.

The paint markers will allow the students to use our robots as drawing machines that they can program to draw designs for them.
