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 Students

Our school is made up of about 500 students in grades Pre-K through 5th Grade. We are in the technology-rich city of Huntsville with much support from our community as mentors.

Many of the students in our school are English-language learners.

However, hands on learning surpasses any language barriers. The students are excited about learning robotics and programming through the FIRST LEGO League team challenge. They will be challenged to learn to work together and solve problems as a team.

My Project

We have a sponsor that will pay for our team registration and field set up kit. However, the robotics kit is also needed for this challenge. Students will learn about space this year as part of the FLL theme and each year the theme will change. These robotics kits will be used for years to come as part of our FLL challenge program at McDonnell.

Using the Mindstorms EV3 kit from LEGO, our students will be able to participate in the FIRST LEGO League challenge each year.

Students will learn programming, building and design, and team work while participating in this challenge.
