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

Bringing **Dash** into our classroom will open the door to meaningful, hands-on STEM learning for students who are eager to explore but often lack access to technology at home. Dash transforms coding from something abstract into something joyful, tangible, and empowering. With this robot, my students can practice problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration in ways that feel like play but build real-world skills they will carry into the future.

The accessories included in this project will deepen their learning by allowing them to design challenges, build attachments, and take ownership of their creative ideas.

These tools will help students of all learning styles feel confident experimenting, trying again, and discovering new possibilities. When a child sees Dash respond to a program they built themselves, they gain not only knowledge—but a sense of pride and capability that can ignite a lifelong love of STEM.

A secure storage locker will ensure Dash and his accessories remain safe, organized, and ready for daily use. This simple addition helps protect the resources we work so hard to obtain, ensuring that all students—now and in years to come—will benefit from this exciting learning opportunity. Your generosity will bring this vision to life and provide students with experiences that inspire confidence, curiosity, and a belief in what they can achieve. Thank you for helping us create a space where young innovators can thrive.
