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

Our school purchased Edison Robots for our Jr Robots Club. The bots are wonderful for our middle-grade primary students. Last year a Donor's Choose funding afforded us the batteries to keep them charged up and running, but now we need to take them to the next level.

Our Edison robots can be controlled with Universal remotes, but we cannot find enough for each child to have one.

We also cannot get enough batteries to make these work.

The remotes and the batteries will allow students to code the robots to run off the universal remote chargers and make their learning more engaging.
