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

By providing students with access to quality resources, we empower them to explore the wonders of the natural world, develop critical thinking skills, and cultivate a lifelong love for learning.

With your support, we can enhance the learning experiences of our students by enriching our science classrooms with engaging and informative books.

Science education is the cornerstone of innovation and progress. From books that cover fundamental concepts to hands-on experiment guides and inspiring biographies of scientists, each book opens doors to new discoveries and sparks curiosity. I aim to build a comprehensive collection of science books that cover a wide range of topics, from earth and space, physical science, life science.
