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

Our students are eager to explore the world of STEM—science, technology, engineering, and math—but our classroom lacks the hands-on tools they need. With your help, we can bring in LEGOs, building structures, chess and other engaging materials to build creativity, teamwork, and critical thinking. These resources aren’t provided by our district, and they can be costly—but with your support, we can give our students the future they deserve.

STEM education helps students develop essential skills for tomorrow’s workforce, yet many of our learners don’t have enough exposure to it in the classroom.

With your help, we can change that. By contributing new building kits and STEM games, you’ll be giving students the chance to experiment, problem-solve, and dream big.

Every child deserves a chance to discover their potential in science and engineering. Our classroom needs materials like LEGOs and building kits to help students practice critical thinking and hands-on learning. These tools aren’t funded by our school, but with your generous support, we can make STEM fun, engaging, and accessible to all.
