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

With a long and rich history, our inner city school is diverse, with students contributing the perspectives and traditions of a variety of cultures. Many of our students are bilingual, or are Multilingual Learners. Just imagine, 98% of our amazing students are socioeconomically disadvantaged, and many face difficult life challenges at a very young age. They also spend a lot of time in their own neighborhoods without often seeing enough of the wide world.

Intelligent, funny, friendly, my students are full of life, inquisitive, enthusiastic, with plenty of grit.

They can also be pointedly insightful. I'm often struck by their perseverance, loyalty and compassion. I am so proud to be their teacher, and want to bring them learning that will drive their pursuit of knowledge and experiences that will fill them with a love of life and an interest in science.

My Project

We are developing a Science and Engineering Lab in which students can apply their STEM knowledge and critical thinking skills to solving important real world problems. Students will have opportunities to collaborate while designing, constructing and operating their cool inventions, and learning valuable tech skills including computer literacy and coding.

Help us bring our students' Science and Engineering ideas to Life!

With this label maker and these Stack and Pull Storage boxes, we can get our equipment organized and let our student's STEM skills flourish to build their science knowledge!
