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

Understanding chemistry can be a challenge for many students, especially when it comes to the abstract concept of chemical bonding. With your support, I hope to bring Happy Atoms model kits into our classroom to give my students a hands-on, visual way to explore how atoms bond to form molecules.

Your donation will help my students better grasp the invisible world of atoms and molecules by turning abstract concepts into tangible experiences.

These interactive kits combine physical models with a digital app to help students build molecules and immediately see how their structures relate to real-world chemical compounds. Instead of just reading about covalent bonds or molecular shapes, students will get to physically create them—making chemistry more engaging, interactive, and memorable.

Thank you for helping spark curiosity and deepen understanding in our future scientists!
