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

My kindergarteners are curious, creative, and eager to explore the world around them. I want to provide them with hands-on STEM materials to foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and early engineering skills through play.

The Ramps & Balls Exploration Set, Force & Motion STEM Activity Set, Simple Machines Set, and other materials will allow my students to experiment with movement, structure, and mechanics while engaging in hands-on learning.

STEM education in early childhood lays the foundation for future success in science, technology, engineering, and math. By providing these interactive materials, we can spark curiosity, encourage problem-solving, and support teamwork—all in a fun and engaging way.

Your support will help bring high-quality STEM learning to my kindergarteners, giving them the tools to explore, create, and discover.
