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 seeking your generous support to acquire Makey Makey kits for my students, who represent a diverse socioeconomic demographic. My goal is to empower these young minds to explore the exciting world of electrical engineering through hands-on learning experiences that foster creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.

The Makey Makey kits will allow students to transform everyday objects into interactive devices, bridging the gap between technology and creativity.

By engaging in this innovative project, students will not only learn fundamental concepts of circuitry and programming but also gain confidence in their ability to create and innovate. This experiential learning approach will cultivate a passion for STEM fields, which is vital in today’s technology-driven world.

My diverse student body faces unique challenges, yet they possess immense potential. Many come from underprivileged backgrounds, where access to advanced educational tools is limited. By providing them with Makey Makey kits, we aim to level the playing field, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to explore their interests in engineering and technology.

The impact of this project extends beyond the classroom. It will inspire students to envision careers in STEM, encouraging them to pursue higher education and become future leaders in their communities. With your support, we can create an inclusive environment where all students are empowered to dream big and achieve their goals.
