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 announce my goal to enhance the learning experience! This lab will allow students to engage directly with science, engineering and art through experiments, projects, and real-world applications.

Hands-on learning is an essential part of education, and it empowers students to think critically, solve problems, and gain practical skills that they can carry with them into their futures.

However, in order to bring this vision to life, we need your help. As I tell my students, once you build it, you will never forget it. Students will be exposed to energy transformations after building and testing solar panels. Energy transformations are a Tested Teks for eighth grade.
