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

Our small yet mighty school is very proud of its many teams. The challenge comes at the cost of how our teams look. We do not look like traditional schools with team logos and their names on sweaters, shirts, and hats. Our students are brilliant. However, our team uniforms are sometimes non-existent.

I remember leading our robotics tournament where every team looked professional.

Our team uniform was composed of wearing similar colors. Our team did very well in the tournament against other countries. The use of the heat press and crystal adhesive will allow us to create long lasting shirts and sweaters that will help make us look more like a team.
