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

I see a lot of untapped potential in my students. They have creativity but few outlets in my class to express their creativity and create something with it. I want my students to challenge themselves in new ways. This is why my students are doing the BUILD Design Challenge this semester in my advisory class. Students will go through the process of designing a product or service for a client. In the end, judges will evaluate student's final projects and decide winners of the challenge. To get the students excited about the project, I would like to offer gift cards to our winners!
