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

We've received some used kits for Arduinos and micro:bits but we need to learn how to use these tools most effectively. We hope to create a collaborative learning environment where by each group takes a book and one of the kits and then creates a flow chart on a small project, such as stop lights or making a face appear. These books will help students with understanding how these cool tools work. These particular books over mini lessons and tutorials on how to get started with the tools we have.
