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 school has a new STEAM Lab, and I have been collaborating with our CTE teacher, Mr. Alvarado, to devise projects that give students in my science and health classes the opportunity to design, create, and build objects in our makerspace. In the past, my students have designed Healthy Choices cubes using cardstock, but now we have a means for them to make more durable objects out of wood or acrylic, increasing engagement.
This project will provide construction materials for students all of our classes (science, health, and CTE) to use throughout this semester, and hopefully into the new school year.
It will also provide basic supplies that allow for lesson flexibility and support the overall classroom environment.
