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

Engineering kits for kids are toy sets that encourage STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) learning. These fun kits teach kids about things like physics, mechanics, and architecture through building.

Lego is a popular STEM toy brand that makes some of the most unique and inventive STEM engineering kits on the market.

These kits are a natural progression up from the Duplos and Legos younger kids play with.

Lego engineering kits introduce kids to new building items like axels and gears. These kits also challenge kids to some pretty advanced building projects.
