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

My students love challenges so hands-on learning help our students use problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity. As we continue to learn and explore every day, we are preparing our young architects and engineers with the necessary skills and experience.

Technology allows our students to see a different perspective in building.

As they learn new skills and get experiences in problem-solving, they learn the necessary skills to persevere and learn.

We are asking for books and STEM kits that will allow our students to learn engineering, coding, and architecture. As we focus more on hands-on learning, our students will learn to use critical thinking and through collaboration will gain skills in communicating.
