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

These robots will be used in the classroom to expand our opportunities, knowledge and experience with coding. Students will learn the abilities to problem solve using 21st century STEM skills to help them complete obstacles and challenges using the Sphero Mini robots.

Having the opportunities everyday during classroom time instead of just our time, once a week, in the lab will provide a rich integration of tech with other content areas.

The skills students learn while experimenting with coding, will help them become critical thinkers. Critical thinking and experiencing struggle through failure, is needed in everyday to help them build a foundation for future STEM experiences and careers.
