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

High school students in our Career and Technical Education (CTE) program would love the opportunity to lead ocean conservation lessons for preschoolers, fostering early environmental awareness through peer-led instruction. Utilizing a lighted water table, they create engaging, hands-on experiences that captivate young learners and make complex ecological concepts accessible. Ocean conservation is a vital cause because it protects marine life, supports biodiversity, and ensures a healthier planet for future generations.

This interactive approach not only enriches the preschoolers' understanding but also enhances the high school students' leadership and communication skills, promoting a collaborative learning environment that benefits both age groups.
