Help me give my students a set of Merge Cubes so they can explore the world virtually. These amazing cubes allow students to hold virtual 3D objects and interact with the world in a whole new, multisensory way.

Celebrating 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 Students
I teach at one of the most diverse schools in Anaheim, with over a dozen languages spoken by our students. We teach approximately 520 students in TK-6th grade, 83% of whom are considered socioeconomically disadvantaged. For most of our students, school is their only opportunity to experience art, science, and technology.
Our students love hands-on activities where they can utilize their creativity and explore new ideas in unique ways.
We want to inspire and prepare our students for a career in the 21st century. Having the opportunity to problem solve, create, and take risks in a safe environment is crucial for their young minds. Our students come to school each day eager to learn and we want to ensure that we provide them every opportunity for a successful future.
My Project
Let's bring the world into our classrooms, virtually! A set of Merge Cubes would allow groups of students to experience the world like never before. When paired with one of the Merge Cube apps, the cube transforms into a digital canvas. Students can explore a variety of things including the solar system, the body, or fossils, in the palms of their hands. These cubes will help our students develop their technology skills and spatial abilities, while at the same time deepening their understanding of social studies, science, and math concepts.
Merge Cubes are amazing holographic tools that will provide our students access to the world using augmented reality.
The ability to see and interact with the world in this way is especially critical for our students from low socio-economic backgrounds who have not had the opportunity to experience the world outside of their neighborhoods. The addition of this technology into our school will literally allow us to bring the learning to life for our students.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
