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
Our project aims to create a state-of-the-art computer science presentation studio where students can showcase their innovative projects and ideas. By providing high-performance computers, recording equipment, and interactive tools, we will create an environment that supports hands-on, project-based learning. These resources will allow students to dive deeper into coding, data analysis, and problem-solving while giving them the opportunity to present their work professionally, improving both their technical and communication skills. This experience will give them a head start in understanding how to articulate complex concepts and defend their solutions—skills that are critical in both academic and professional settings.
The main goal of this project is to foster an environment where students feel empowered to create, present, and collaborate on real-world computer science projects.
We want to enhance their technical proficiency, boost their confidence in public speaking, and provide a space where they can practice teamwork and innovation. By giving them the tools they need to succeed, we are preparing them for future academic endeavors and tech careers.
Our students are incredibly special because of their curiosity, determination, and passion for technology. Despite limited resources, they never stop striving to learn and push boundaries. They are eager to solve problems, innovate, and make an impact. This studio will unlock their potential and give them a platform to turn their bright ideas into real-world solutions
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
