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

Bee-Bot robots provide a hands-on, developmentally appropriate way for early elementary students to build foundational coding skills through play, exploration, and problem-solving. Students use simple directional buttons to program Bee-Bots to move forward, backward, left, and right, which introduces them to the core concepts of sequencing, algorithms, and debugging in a concrete and engaging way.

Bee-Bots also support cross-curricular learning by integrating coding with literacy, math, and science activities.

Students can navigate story maps, solve math problems, or explore content-based grids, making coding meaningful and connected to classroom learning. Additionally, these robots encourage collaboration, communication, and language development as students work together to plan, test, and explain their thinking.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
