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

Help support and continue to foster curiosity and creativity within our kindergarteners and first graders in gifted education. Soon, my kindergarteners and first graders will begin their engineering projects by designing a dinosaur theme park.

Primary students are constantly exploring the world around them and seeking creative ways to solve challenges.

It is important to continue to support their curiosity and creativity with innovative thinking and problem solving skills.

In this project, students will use the engineer's design process and their critical thinking skills. Student's will design and invent a dinosaur theme park.

Through these hands-on experiences, trial and error, and innovation, students will understand the principals of engineering, while having FUN.
