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

Legos are a fantastic resource for introducing STEAM concepts to kindergarten students in a fun and age-appropriate way. Young learners can explore basic engineering and math by building towers, bridges, and patterns, all while developing fine motor skills and spatial awareness.

Through playful experimentation, they begin to understand simple problem-solving and design thinking.

Students can creatively engage in activities that touch on science, technology, engineering, art, and math. These hands-on experiences make learning feel like play, helping kindergartners build a strong foundation for future STEAM learning. We also use technology to support learning across many different subjects, including STEAM.
