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
I love how curious, creative, and full of energy my students are. They come to class ready to explore new ideas, ask questions, and dive into hands-on learning. These resources will make a huge difference in their experience. The circuit kits will help them build, experiment, and problem-solve as they create projects that light up, move, or respond to touch—bringing their ideas to life in a tangible way. The heat press and mug maker will allow them to take their creativity a step further by designing custom mugs—combining art, design, and technology in a way that feels both fun and empowering. The markers and cellophane paper will fuel their imagination during the design process, while the storage bins will keep all their materials organized and easy to access. Each item will help bring learning to life and support the unique talents and curiosity of every student in my class.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
