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

My class is filled with great kids who need to be motivated! This is even more true since we have returned from Covid. My students are open to a lot of things I tell the. But, they need to see a connection as to why.

My students will be able to make that connection with these drones!

My students will not see coding these drones and flying them as work but more like fun! This is what will get their attention and get them motivated to learn. I am hoping they will make that real life connection as to why reading, math, science and coding as so important. This is where you can help my students (who deserve the best).

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
