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

Merge cubes are amazing science technology that enables students to view things in 3D. Using a tablet or phone, the students hold the Merge cubes up to the camera, allowing them to enter the amazing world of virtual 3D. Using Merge cubes with a tablet can take students on a 3D journey through human body systems. They can even show them how to drill for oil in real life!

STEM Merge Cubes and tablets give my students an up-close personal look at the world around them.

My students are from around the world, and many are English Language Learners. They will be able to experience things in virtual reality.
