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

These science materials and art supplies will empower my amazing, creative students to bring their STEM ideas to life through hands-on exploration and imaginative design. With access to the right tools, they’ll be able to experiment, build, and problem-solve in ways that deepen their understanding of science, technology, engineering, and math concepts. Whether they're designing structures, creating models, or illustrating their discoveries, these resources will help turn abstract ideas into tangible, exciting projects—fostering both critical thinking and creativity in every step of the process. Having students be able to use headphones to listen and watch videos of other students and scientist create will help students understand and not disturb others that are working on their own STEM project
