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 privileged to teach a group of students who are full of life, eager to learn, and uniquely talented. Each of them brings their own individual spark to our classroom, making it a vibrant place of learning and growth. What makes them special is their resilience, their enthusiasm for learning, and their kindness towards each other.

In our classroom, we believe in the power of hands-on learning and the potential of technology.

That’s why we’re seeking your support for a drone and an extra battery for our students to use at school.

These resources will not only make our students excited about technology but also engage them in active learning. The drone will provide a practical way for our students to understand and apply concepts related to physics, geography, and computer science, fostering their scientific thinking and problem-solving skills.

My goal for this project is to ignite technological curiosity, inspire future innovators, and make learning fun and engaging.

Your generous donation will help us achieve this goal. It will provide our students with the tools they need to explore, understand, and enjoy technology in a whole new way. Thank you for considering our project and for supporting our students’ journey towards a brighter future.
