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 Family Night is a chance to nurture their love of learning beyond the classroom and engage their families in the process. Each resource we’re requesting will help students make real-world connections: building materials like craft sticks, tape, and cups will support engineering challenges; simple circuits kits will help them explore electricity and problem-solving; and measurement tools will encourage data collection and analysis. These hands-on activities foster collaboration, critical thinking, and a lasting excitement for STEM—skills that will support their growth for years to come. These supplies will bring families together every year and all ages.
