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

As our students' ideas, projects and competitive robots get more advance, we now realize that we need stronger and better lasting batteries to power students STEM projects and competitive robots. These batteries are the main source of power for their STEM projects and competitive robots. These tools will expand the student's ability to prototype, test and refine their STEM projects.

Perhaps more importantly than the hands-on experience, will be the non-technology skills my students will develop--the leadership, problem solving, and everyday life skills that will prepare them for their futures.

At the end of the day, this project will be more than building robots, and more than building skills, it will be about sharing our story. Please help provide resources that can help us become the next generation of STEM professionals. We would be actively promoting STEM within our community starting in our own high school.
