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

Please help inspire young scientists. The STEM Kits will help various students prepare for competition. Students will be able to perform engineering skills to be able to compete against 10 schools.

These young scientists are eager and ready to apply their engineering skills.

Our students come from a Title I school and want to experience a science competition at the local college and the kits will be used for their competition.

Our students’ goal is to be able to compete and showcase their projects and their science knowledge and skills Let’s keep their science interest sparked.
