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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

The products, I have selected will help my students by giving them the tools to create their pizza box oven. While building these we are also learning how solar works in a real-world setting while getting a sweet treat. A way to get students excited and involved is eating which can be easily used in many areas of the classroom. Our students have not had a STEAM program at our school for the last 2 years. I hope that introducing STEAM back into their curriculum and involving food while relating it to their everyday lives, will get them excited about the ideas and projects we have to come.
