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

Please help my wonderful students continue their exploration of electric circuits. Donors have "turned my students on" to learning about electricity and building functional circuits with Elenco Snap Circuit kits. These kits have allowed my students to build doorbells, alarms, radios and even lie detectors! Their work with these circuit kits has "conducted" excitement throughout our school building. My students can't "resist" in their desire to want to learn and build more circuits and now, more students at our school want to join the program!

Help me "amp" up our program by funding the purchase of these new and exciting snap circuit kits that will enable students to create "rovers" and arcade games.

By donating to this project, you will allow my current students to further advance their knowledge and experiences with building electrical circuits, while expanding my program so more students can participate.
