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 Project

Our students are learning how to code from a very young age. They are experimenting with different robots and coding programs to become experts in the field of coding. The Sphero Mini robots would allow our students to practice their coding skills in a fun and exciting way. They can code the robots to knock down bowling pins, drag the pins to a desired location, spin wheels, travel through mazes, and so much more. These mini-robots make learning fun.

Sphero Mini robots will make learning to code fun for students in every grade at our school.

Every class can use the robots in the Engineering Lab, and they will be used in our after-school STEAM class as well. Students will have challenges they need to work together to solve so their robot successfully completes the task given.
