Celebrating 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.
College requirements for technical fields, such as experience in computer programming, and others, are met by taking this class, and using the technology you are helping make available. Students build their robots and re-arrange wiring and electronic parts daily.
Most students are under-privileged teens in a setting where supplies and technology are limited.
A fun and rigorous curriculum is available with these robot kits. With these Boe Bot kits, students can completely change their self-perception, their opinion of science, as well as the school culture.
I teach robotics and physics at a public school with a focus on science. Many students have no concept of careers in science and this is a great way to open their eyes to engineering in an exciting hands-on manner. Students will learn to design small robots, build the robots based on their designs, and compete in a robot soccer match, using sensors and remote control. They will learn the C++ programming language.
My Project
Some robot kits are already in the classroom. The class has gained popularity and we need more kits to serve all the students that have enrolled. Students will build their robots and they will rewire the microcontrollers on their robot daily, with different electronic parts. The students will be given tasks for their robots to complete daily. For example, one activity is for the robot to start running at the clap of hands, or not fall off the table when reaching the edge. Students will gain excellent preparation for engineering careers and information technology. This is a great means to boost students' confidence about their success in technical fields.
Your help and concern will empower my students with the confidence and skills to reach goals much higher than they now conceive of, and increase their readiness for college, and careers in engineering, technology, and STEM related fields.
