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 Students

The students in my classroom are typical 21st-century students who gain the most knowledge and understanding from hands-on STEM activities. I want my students to leave knowing more than just spreadsheets, word documents, and clicking a mouse. I want them to be creators and inventors of the future.

We have experimented with Makey Makey, Squishy Circuits, MinecraftEdu, Ev3 Robotics, Ozobots, Scratch, Code, Raspberry Pi, 3Doodlers, MicroBits, Bloxels, Sphero Robots, and Stop Motion Video Creation.

For many of the students, school is the only place they have access to computers and the Internet and can learn about computer programming.

My Project

With an ever expanding universe of technology tools for today's students, I want to give them hands on access to the cutting edge of the STEM world.

Using the Tello drone, the students will gain a better understanding of what it takes to actually keep something flying in the air.

The students will be able to explore science topics such as lift, drag, and propulsion.

After they have a better understanding of how to fly the drone manually, we will venture into using code to command the drone. Coding the drone will allow the students to use their computer science and math skills to plot a specific path for the drone to follow.
