it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
To truly inspire and support my students, I want to create a space that works as hard as they do: flexible, durable, and built for collaboration. Help transform our STEM classroom into a dynamic, collaborative, and innovative learning space! With your support, we’ll upgrade our room with flexible furniture and design tools that empower our students to think critically, work creatively, and collaborate effectively.
Students desreve a space that reflects their potential and helps them thrive.
When students step into my STEM room, they become builders, dreamers, and doers, not just passive learners. The rolling butcher block tables with pegboard storage will provide durable, mobile workstations perfect for hands-on STEM projects, engineering challenges, and group problem-solving. Soft, flexible seating options will create flexible learning zones where students can brainstorm, collaborate, or focus independently. Adding whiteboard paper to existing tables will turn them into design stations, allowing students to sketch, solve problems, and refine ideas directly at their workspace.
Our goal is to create a space that fosters creativity, teamwork, and real-world problem-solving. These upgrades will inspire our primarily BIPOC and ENL students to embrace STEM learning and explore exciting career pathways.
Your donation will empower our diverse group of learners — future engineers, scientists, and innovators — to dream big, think boldly, and work collaboratively to tackle challenges in their own neighborhood. Together, let’s build a classroom that sparks curiosity and prepares students for a brighter future!
