Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Building an inclusive robotics team that bridges the gap between special education students and top scholars is an inspiring endeavor that not only fosters diversity but also promotes compassion, empathy, and mutual growth. By bringing together students from different backgrounds and abilities, you're not only creating a more inclusive environment but also enriching the learning experience for everyone involved. These students may see each other in the halls but barely get a chance to interact.

With this project each member, regardless of their background or abilities, brings unique perspectives, talents, and strengths to the table.

This will also encourage open communication and respect for one another's differences, fostering a supportive and inclusive team culture.

This project will create opportunities for collaboration and peer learning. Pair special education students with top scholars, encouraging them to work together on various aspects of robotics projects. This not only allows special education students to benefit from the expertise of their peers but also enables top scholars to develop compassion, patience, and teaching skills as they support their teammates.

The Lego Education Essential Spike kits will be used to engage some of my lower functioning students and the Edison robot kits will be a great introduction for the both groups of students who have not been introduced to coding.

Lastly, this project will foster a culture of continuous learning and growth, where mistakes are viewed as opportunities for improvement and experimentation is encouraged. Encourage students to step out of their comfort zones, take on new challenges, and learn from one another's experiences.

By building an inclusive robotics team that values diversity, collaboration, and continuous learning, you're not only providing special education students with valuable opportunities for growth and development but also creating a richer and more vibrant learning environment for all students involved.
