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

For the first time in years, technology is back in our schools, and our students couldn’t be more excited! This year, we’ve taken a big step forward by reintroducing tech education, starting with some essential supplies—but we need your help to keep the momentum going. We are requesting power strips, anchor chart paper, markers, and sticky notes to jot down our ideas, and snacks for motivation!

Each resource we bring into the classroom helps students explore, create, and innovate in ways they never have before.

Whether they’re jotting down fresh ideas, diving into hands-on projects, or discovering new ways to apply technology, we are redefining what it means to learn about tech.

And let’s be honest—snacks are the ultimate motivator! A little fuel goes a long way in keeping our students engaged and eager to learn.

Your support means more tools, more learning, and more opportunities for our students to develop the skills they need for the future. Together, we can make this comeback year a success! Join us in bringing tech education back to life—every contribution makes a difference!
