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

Our 3D printers have dramatically improved our Robotics and STEM efforts - giving us custom manipulatives and projects designed around student choice and creativity.

Help us maintain those 3D printers and make them last for the long term.

Students continue to expand their CAD Design skills, real-world problem solving, and pro-social electronics projects. Just this past year, students learned how to make crashes safer and power cars more efficiently. Next year, we hope to add air quality and renewable energy projects into the mix and build connected smart devices that give real-time data back to the Environmental Club for their projects.
