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 students are natural Inquirers! They love to ask questions about their environment, and how things are made; hence their affinity towards mathematics, technology and science.

The vast majority of my students are college-bound!

Many plan their entire high-school experience around the idea that they will be applying for some of the most competitive universities out there. Even with their personal challenges that they experience day in and day out, they always keep their eyes on the prize. Growing up in a low-income community where opportunities appear to be dwindling every day, my students live by the credos, "Don't just find resources, but be resourceful!"

With the advances of technology in education, I as a teacher can now bring the "someday" into the "today." How cool would it be to build and code a robot to dance?!?! With this project, my students will learn the fundamental building blocks of coding in order to get their robot to move in a specific dance pattern. Additionally, students will learn about circuitry and components of a variety of platforms such as R+ on Mac OS and Android. This project will have a variety of applications in my mathematics class (we currently don't have coding or robotics as curriculum) including: understanding coding algorithms, creating systems, and analyzing different aspects of the engineer design cycle by actually programming a robot to perform different tasks.
