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’m inspired every day by my students’ boundless curiosity and creativity. They are passionate young learners who dream big, especially when it comes to bringing their ideas to life through art and technology. Each of them has unique strengths, and they thrive when they can engage in hands-on projects that challenge their minds and allow them to express their individuality.

With 3D printers and filament, my students will have the tools to turn their creative ideas into tangible models.

This technology will enable them to experiment with design, develop problem-solving skills, and see their imaginative ideas become real. From creating models of ecosystems to engineering simple machines, 3D printing opens up countless opportunities for them to learn by doing. This experience will introduce them to cutting-edge technology, preparing them for future educational and career paths in STEM fields.

My goal for this project is to empower my students to explore, create, and grow. They deserve opportunities to work with the latest tools, making their learning experience both relevant and exciting. By supporting this project, you’re helping our young artists and innovators gain skills that will serve them for years to come. Thank you for considering a donation to help these bright young minds bring their dreams to life!
