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

Arduino is an electronic platform with a diverse number of development boards available to communicate between real and programming worlds. It allows students and engineers to design academic and real time projects to solve modern problems.

Arduino is designed to make the microcontroller world more accessible.

It is based upon ATmega AVR microcontrollers. Arduino platforms consist of circuit boards like UNO, normally referring to microcontrollers and the development part known as IDE. Using IDE, Arduino boards can be programmed using C++ language. Having these Arduino sensors will help my students create and apply in our environment. The Arduino will be a big opportunity for my students to tap into the STEM world. thank you for all your help.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
