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

The storage cubes will help students stay organized, reducing distractions and promoting a clutter-free environment. It teaches organization skills which is a valuable for their academic success.

The calculators will enable the students to actively participate in the lessons, complete assignments more efficiently, and develop confidence in their mathematical abilities.

This tool will not only reinforce learning but encourage them to explore more advanced concepts. Access to calculators ensures that all students regardless of their background have an equal chance to succeed.

The goals for this project is to challenge students in groups with geometry and algebra concepts, teach them how to properly use the calculators.

These students are special because they are really engaged in learning new concepts. They are the future of innovation, leadership, and providing this tool will only increase their ability to succeed.
