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

The Play Stix, blocks, gears, and Play Doh requested support student learning by providing:

Hands-On Exploration: These hands on materials provide opportunities for hands-on exploration and experimentation, allowing students to engage with STEM concepts in a tangible and meaningful way.

Cross-Disciplinary Learning: STEM building materials encourage the integration of multiple disciplines, promoting a holistic understanding of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Problem-Solving Skills: Students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills as they design, test, and iterate their creations, learning through trial and error.

Creativity and Innovation: By providing open-ended building materials, students are encouraged to think creatively and innovatively, exploring new ideas and solutions to real-world problems.

Collaborative Learning: Group projects and cooperative activities foster collaboration and communication skills, as students work together to design and build their creations.
