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

My classroom is a combination second and third grade classroom of gifted children. The students in my gifted classroom are able to process information at a higher level than most students their age.

In my classroom, we focus on exposure to science and math-based job opportunities, STEM projects, hands-on lessons, and project-based learning.

The students in my class need less repetitions than most kids their age need to master information, so we are able to move at a faster pace than their grade-level peers.

My Project

My students are extremely interested in computer coding and robotics. I want to give them the opportunity to practice programming, computer coding, and building simple machines. Students will engage with the engineering design process to construct the various robots requested.

Research shows that between elementary school and high school, interest in STEM subjects declines significantly, especially for girls and underrepresented groups.

I will use the different robotics kits as STEM centers in my classroom. The crab robots will teach the students to collaborate and follow directions to build a simple machine. The mBot robots will teach the students to simple coding and programming of a computer to complete a task.

These centers and labs will increase interest in STEM across our school by providing an engaging, alternative pathway to learning about engineering and programming.
