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
Introducing practice vinyl records for DJing to 3rd-5th graders adds a dynamic dimension to their learning experience. These tactile tools not only teach the technical aspects of DJing but also enhance auditory discrimination, rhythm recognition, and teamwork. The project aims to cultivate a unique blend of music education and technological skill development, fostering creativity and collaboration. What makes these students special is their innate curiosity and openness to diverse learning experiences.
Providing them with the opportunity to explore DJing not only aligns with their interests but also nurtures a sense of innovation, setting the stage for a well-rounded and forward-thinking education.
More than half of students from low‑income households
