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 creative thinkers but don't have the resources at home to experience hands on creativity. The classroom is their space to think creatively and develop STEAM skills. These materials will be used weekly in our classroom maker space to students the opportunity to build, create, test and explore.

With these materials my students will have that opportunity to experience hands on creativity.

The robots will help them step into coding, the beads will allow them to create new art and with the circuits they will get to explore the world of electricity.
