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

My students are curious, innovative thinkers who learn best when they can explore, create, and collaborate. However, traditional seating and limited STEM resources make it challenging for them to engage deeply with hands-on learning. By providing interactive robots and flexible seating, I can transform our classroom into a dynamic STEM space where students feel empowered to experiment, problem-solve, and bring their ideas to life.

To create a flexible STEM learning environment, I am requesting:

1 Dash Robot – A fun and interactive way for students to learn coding and robotics.

2 Speed Mini Robots – Small, powerful robots that encourage hands-on exploration and creativity.

6 Bouncy Balls for Flexible Seating – Movement-friendly seating that enhances focus and teamwork.

STEM Materials will give students hands-on experience with coding, robotics, and problem-solving.

A Flexible Space will provide students with a comfortable, collaborative environment to explore STEM concepts freely.
