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

This project is for my school's model train club that helps students learn about STEAM activities and inspires creativity. The students will explore model railroading and create a realistic scene. The project will involve engineering concepts such as electrical wiring and coding. The students will be required to use critical thinking to create a circuit using the model train rails and a power source. The students goal in this club will be to create an accurate and functioning model railroad that uses electric circuits to operate. The students will showcase their project at the district STEAM Fair.
