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 Students
My 18 kindergarten students are eager to learn and enjoy stories read to them and in need of having the necessary books readily available to continue learning from home. They come from a low socioeconomic background and in most cases come from homes where parents do not read to them, or do not have the means to access technology. My students live in an impoverished community in East Los Angeles. My students are from predominantly Latino backgrounds. They range from newly arrived immigrants to third-generation immigrants. I have students that do not have adequate resources to keep learning from home. The students that I work with are receiving free school lunches. Despite the challenges my students face, they are happy children who want to learn.
My Project
Help me bring to my students the tools they need to spark their curiosity and creativity in the STEM field. These kits will help my students develop a wide range of skills from critical thinking and problem solving to the basics of engineering. These STEM kits will allow my students to be creators, thinkers, problem solvers, doers, innovators, and inventors. STEM education can help bridge the ethnic and gender gap, sometimes found in math and science fields. I strongly believe STEM education in school is important to begin to spark an interest in STEM careers for our students.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
