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

The 95 Storm practice in a confined space in a shared area within our school gymnasium. Unfortunately, this limits the type of skills we can practice safely. The Powernet will serve as a barrier that would be able to partition an area of the gym that will both protect the softball team as well as others who might be sharing the gymnasium at the time. Unfortunately, our old barrier nets have reached the end of their lifespan and became damaged.

Being limited to what we can practice has been our number one disadvantage when it comes to preparing for our softball season.

Having our gymnasium protected by the Powernets will greatly benefit our team and contribute to our potential success on the field.
