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

Physics is a fundamental subject that plays a crucial role in helping kids understand the world around them from an early age. By grasping key concepts in physics, such as light and sound waves or thermodynamics, children can develop critical thinking skills and a strong foundation in scientific principles. These early experiences not only foster a love for science but also open doors to a wide range of high-paying careers in fields like engineering, technology, and research.

Understanding physics is not just about learning facts; it's about acquiring skills that are transferable to many different careers.

Problem-solving, analytical thinking, and hands-on experimentation are all central to physics and are valuable in any profession. By engaging with physics through hands-on opportunities, kids can explore how lenses, lights, and heat work, which can spark their curiosity and passion for science.

Our goal is to get Latitude students excited about science by providing them with the tools and experiences they need to truly understand these concepts. By giving them the chance to tinker with real-world tools like lenses and heat guns, we can inspire a new generation of scientists, engineers, and innovators who are eager to pursue careers in STEM and beyond.
