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

Over 90% of our students come from low-income households, and as a Title I school, we face significant resource gaps, especially in STEM education. Most of our students lack access to technology at home, putting them at a disadvantage in a world that increasingly relies on digital skills.

We want to change that.

With your help, we can introduce students to engineering, 3D printing, coding, and advanced mathematics - areas that are projected to grow by over 10% in the next decade, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Your donation will help fund essential tech tools that make hands-on learning possible, tools that allow students to design 3D models, write code, and solve real-world problems. These experiences not only support academic growth but also inspire confidence, creativity, and career exploration.

Invest in their potential. Help us bridge the digital divide and build pathways to STEM careers for students who need it most.
