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

STEM projects bring computer science to life by allowing students to apply coding, engineering, and problem-solving skills in hands-on, real-world ways. These projects build critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and technical confidence—skills essential for success in today’s digital economy. They also increase student engagement by showing the real-world impact of computer science beyond the screen.

A new Mac computer enhances this learning by giving both students and teachers access to the latest tools and software used in the tech industry.

Macs are especially useful for coding, app development, multimedia editing, and running professional-grade programs like Xcode, Swift Playgrounds, and design platforms. For teachers, a reliable, powerful computer streamlines lesson planning, instructional delivery, and grading—making tech integration smoother and more effective.

Together, STEM projects and a new Mac computer help create an innovative, future-ready classroom that prepares students for college, careers, and creative exploration.
