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

We are a asking for 25 STEM Kids to make solar powered cars. We will use these kits in addition supplemental resources purchased from TPT to celebrate Earth Day. Our goal is to learn about solar power because it will help us understand how we can use the sun's energy to do great things. Learning about solar power will teach us about renewable energy sources and the importance of taking care of the environment. We hope to spark curiosity and encourage these young minds to think about creative solutions to problems facing our planet.
