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 students are full of curiosity and love hands-on learning, but need more supplies to dive deep into STEM exploration. By providing materials like Hot Wheels cars and tracks, a marble run, puzzles, magnetic tiles, and sturdy storage containers, you will help create a dynamic, hands-on STEM station in our classroom.
These tools will encourage students to engage in physics, engineering, problem-solving, and creativity in ways that go beyond textbooks.
Hot Wheels cars and tracks will let students experiment with speed, gravity, and friction. A marble run set will give them the chance to explore cause and effect as they create pathways for marbles to navigate through twists and turns. Puzzles will challenge them to think critically and improve spatial reasoning. Magnetic tiles will allow for creative exploration of shapes, symmetry, and architectural design. Each of these items, combined, will create a stimulating environment where students can learn and explore freely. To keep our space organized, storage containers will help ensure all items are easily accessible and that the materials last throughout the school year.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
