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

The plan for this material which sounds very expensive is to help start our virtual reality racing/flying simulator. Students have requested a new club on campus after much discussion and deliberation many students expressed the need and want to learn new skills using technology. Our last VPA club was very successful. We are excited to see what this club brings. In addition to our Simulator Club, we hope to start a program that will allow other students to come in and participate and build SEL (Social Emotional Relationships). Thanks for your time.
