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

My students are curious, imaginative, and an innovative bunch of learners. They come from diverse backgrounds from different boroughs of New York. They come to class eager to learn and eager to tinker with whatever building challenges are set for them. I try my best to keep them engaged and motivated by using STEM kits that make them think outside the box. They work in pairs in order to foster collaboration and to develop team work. I’m requesting for a class set of this Kiwi Co Walking Robot Tinkering crate because I believe this activity will foster their live for STEM.
