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

Resilient, positive, compassionate, and driven describe the scholars at my middle school. The obstacles the scholars have to overcome simply to make it to school would have many adults think of quitting and yet they succeed and thrive. The middle school is located in one of the poorest and most under-served neighborhoods in a large, rich city. They represent an array of abilities, beliefs, backgrounds, ethnicities, and identities. All of their differences unite them together in a beautiful way. The school has formed a strong community in which no scholar falls through the cracks and all have a chance at academic and social success.

My Project

The library has a vibrant and creative Maker Space in which students make all sorts of creations from mini-books to mini robots. At the end of the year we celebrate students at a school Maker Faire.

One of the challenges of creating a maker space is keeping up with the supplies.

We are requesting mini motors for robotic projects, glue to make various kinds of slime, electronic materials (LEDS, batteries, wiring, conductive tape and thread) are needed for a variety of wearable and paper electronics, and a cart to hold the supplies so it is easier for students to access materials. Other materials such as paint, brushes, paper, and tape are needed to resupply our current, successful maker space.

Students can either choose a creation from a menu or they can make an invention on their own. Students love tinkering and exploring and then showing off their hard work to our school community.
