Help me give my students cardstock paper, hot glue sticks and other materials needed for designing and crafting prototypes in our physics class. They will build spacecrafts, boats, cars, houses etc.

Celebrating 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
The items I am kindly requesting will solidify concepts in unit conversion, dimensional analysis, planning, problem solving and creativity. We have already built a model of the Orion spacecraft at a 1:65 scale and I plan to continue exploring other phases of the NASA Artemis mission. They will be designing and crafting moon rovers, housing facilities for a space colony, windmills and other fun stuff.
Our goal is to discuss physics concepts and at the same time build prototypes.
I have noticed how my students enjoy hands-on activities where they use their creativity. These projects really improve the understanding of the material, and increase the chances of more students pursuing STEM careers. My students really want to excel and take advantage of the opportunities created for them at our school.
More than half of students from low‑income households
