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

Starting up a STEM program at my school has been the most rewarding experience. I love watching students create and design. My classroom is a safe space for students to take risks. The students at my low-income school do have access to a lot of technology. My class is a place for my students to have many new experiences.

Coding Robots and coding games are an amazing way for my students to learn about computer science while having a great time.

With these resources, the students will construct mazes for their robots to maneuver through, have races, and learn other exciting robotic/coding skills.
