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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

The students in my Technology class love coding. My aim is to foster their curiosity about their surroundings to using code to build awareness and of their environment. It is my firm belief that every individual has a distinct purpose to fulfill in this world. In order to facilitate the holistic development of children, we advocate for a STEM curriculum that incorporates a deeper understanding of the environmental challenges facing our planet and specific communities.

Think coding and the environment don't mix?

Think again. Developers are making a big difference when it comes to being environmentally friendly. Developers are coming up with new ways to reduce pollution from cars and factories. They are also creating apps and tools that help people take small actions to save energy and protect habitats.

In the context of STEM education, my students will gain knowledge about various coding operation technologies. Using Scratch Coding and the Green Goals Initiatives of the United Nations to effect sustainable environment changes, my Saturday School program, with your generous donations of STEM projects and healthy snacks, will utilize coding and hands-on projects to focus on Affordable and Clean Energy, Responsible Consumption and Production, Climate Action, Life Below Water, and Life on Land.
