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

Due to COVID-19 Pandemic, some of my students are struggling on executing their creative ideas into something digital. Hence, through the utilization of technology, my students can research materials needed for Vertical Gardening and outline their ideas with various software and coding to produce the desired output. Moreover, we will also utilize the technology in many forms such as helping our Robotics club do some codings and FUSE lab since some projects need the power of Super Computer in the hope to develop a creative mindset. We are going to bring out the best in our kids' optimum level of significance through scientific and environmental awareness and advocacy.
