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

Help spark a love of learning in my classroom! We are beginning a hybrid program for our long term independent study where students will meet in person to collaborate in STEAM activities. With your support, my 4th–8th grade students will be introduced to microbits. They'll bring their ideas to life by building and programming their own cars and constructing imaginative structures with Strawbees.

These tools transform abstract STEAM concepts into real, tangible creations, giving students the chance to problem-solve, collaborate, and connect to cross curricular content.

At this age, students are ready to be challenged, and this project will show them that they belong in the world of coding and design. Your generosity opens doors to skills and confidence that will last far beyond our classroom. Thank you for believing in my students and making this possible!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
