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

Children can't learn in a classroom that doesn't have proper air conditioning. We have a classroom that half has air and the other is burning up. Our solution is to get a portable air conditioning unit to cool the other half of the classroom. The ceiling fans to help circulate the cool air.

In a state with consecutive heat over 100 degrees help my student feel cool in the classroom with a portable air conditioning unit.

Little minds have a hard time learning and understanding when they are not comfortable in the classroom. This unit with help them feel comfy in the class and not feel the heat.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
