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 and curious about the natural and technological world around them. I want to expose my students to different modern technology tools that will allow them to share their creativity. The Nintendo Switch and the Minecraft game will offer an entry point into my Esports club by enabling me to add more games that will address math, coding, and language skills in the future. I believe the challenging nature of the game will help students to show resilience and critical thinking. I will be able to use the Minecraft game and the Nintendo Switch as a tool to enable students to write and create stories about their characters.
