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

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted students' academic and social-emotional well-being. My students have experienced interruptions in their learning and social interactions, resulting in challenges that extend beyond academics.

The Hummingbird Microbit kits will enable my students to build and program microbiyt, fostering their interest in STEM.

These kits will allow students to engage in hands-on learning, which is crucial for understanding complex concepts. By working on projects that involve building and programming, students will develop problem-solving skills, enhance their creativity, and build resilience through trial and error.

During the pandemic, many students missed out on practical, interactive learning experiences. The Hummingbird Microbit kits will help bridge this gap by providing a platform for experiential learning. Working in groups, students will collaborate on projects, enhancing their social skills and building a sense of community. This collaborative environment will help mitigate the social isolation experienced during remote learning.

The iPad wireless microphones will be used for our "Green Screen Time Traveler's Talkshow," a creative project where students will research historical events and figures, write scripts, and produce their own talk shows. This project will not only improve their research and writing skills but also boost their confidence in public speaking and performance.
