Celebrating 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 goal is to create an engaging, hands-on science curriculum that sparks curiosity and builds a strong foundation in STEM for my students. With your support, we can bring exciting science materials into our classroom, tools that allow students to experiment, explore, and discover the "why" behind the world around them. These materials will transform abstract concepts into real-life experiences, helping students gain confidence in their scientific thinking and preparing them for success in high school and beyond.
My students are bright, creative, and eager to learn.
Many come from underserved communities and don’t always have access to resources that bring learning to life. Despite these challenges, they show up every day with enthusiasm and potential. By providing hands-on opportunities in science, you're not just funding materials, you're helping to shape future engineers, doctors, environmentalists, and problem-solvers. Together, we can make STEM exciting, meaningful, and accessible for every child in my classroom.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
