Hispanic Heritage STEM Challenges

Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with STEM challenges for primary grades! Students explore culture, history, and innovators like Celia Cruz and Little Havana while building, creating, and problem-solving.

Perfect for September–October or year-round learning. Try these tasks in your classroom, library learning commons, Makerspace, or at home.

There is no set materials list - just put out what you have available and let your students get to work! With 20 hands-on STEM activities, students will explore, build, and create while learning about the contributions and heritage of Hispanic and Latinx leaders.

These challenges combine problem-solving, creativity, and cultural awareness, helping students make meaningful connections between STEM learning and the diverse contributions of Hispanic and Latinx innovators.
