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 Students

I teach at a school located in the heart of San Diego. 100% of our student population receives free lunch. My students are some of the most amazing students that you will ever meet. They are from all over the world. Many came to this country to escape hardships in their countries. My students want to learn so badly and I will stop at nothing to provide them with the best education that I possibly can.

Every donation you make to our class helps make it possible for a child to access learning in a way that they may not have gotten otherwise.

You can make a difference.

My Project

This project will give my students the opportunity to learn coding, while applying it to real life and having fun at the same time.

Coding is a huge part of our future and I want my students to be able to have a hands on experience with it.

Giving them these robots will allow them to learn a new language, code for educational purposes as well as for fun. Coding unlocks things in kids. How neat would it be if this project helps spark an interest in a child that will help them for their future? Please help us bring these robots to our classroom.
