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 am excited to integrate a wide rage of engineering challenges to my students! I teach science and STEAM to students who are creative, imaginative and eager to design/build prototypes for real world problems. Through these supplies, I will be able to facilitate multiple engineering and design projects in my class.

We will be able to build solar powered cars (which a goal will be to challenge the students to enhance the design through 3D printed parts), bristlebot made from a vibrating motor and a toothbrush head, a personal size drone and many more!
