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 Students

Our school is located in a rural agricultural area. We have a lot of poverty. Eighty three percent of our students qualify for free lunch. We also have a large population of second language learners.

Many of my students are fighting to survive.

Some are homeless, don't have running water or food to eat. Our school is a safe place where they get fed and taken care of. Our school really is a center for the community.

Despite their hardships, my students are amazing people. They show up every day excited and ready to learn. They understand that through education they can change their situations. I love my job and I love my students.

My Project

I chose to use Arduino Uno boards for this project because it is an open source hardware, software and content platform. It is great for making interactive projects. My makerspace class will have the opportunity to use these products to create interactive electrical projects that will take their learning to a whole new level.

Using real-life tools such as electrical wiring, wire cutters and strippers and the soldering iron teach 21st-century electrical engineering skills.

My students will have the opportunity to explore and understand how electricity affects their lives. They will also get to learn some techniques and tools used by electrical engineers. Electrical engineering is something that we couldn't live without.
