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

As I prepare to launch our 10th grade Computer Engineering course next year, I want to make sure every student has access to the tools they need to learn, build, and thrive. This is especially important for students who may not have access to resources outside of school. The items in this project, from mice with scroll wheels to breadboard kits and engineering journals, are essential for creating a hands-on, engaging environment where students can explore technology through real-world applications.

These materials will support lessons in circuit design, coding, robotics, and problem-solving, giving students not just knowledge but confidence in their ability to think critically and work collaboratively.

Without these resources, many students would miss out on the opportunity to truly experience engineering in action. Your support helps us break down those barriers and build a classroom where innovation and access go hand in hand.
