My students need LEGO Education WeDo 2.0 Core Sets and Google Chromebooks to explore Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math through robotics exploration.

Celebrating 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
My students are eager, active, curious, and imaginative hands-on learners. My students are engaged daily in a rigorous, integrated academic curriculum, which includes a high emphasis in STEM learning. My students live in a high poverty, metropolitan city and attend a Title I school. Our inner city school lacks the funding to access supplemental learning materials.
My students show up to class daily and work diligently to overcome the many challenges they face living in the inner city.
My students enjoy working cooperatively and display great creativity. Parents continually seek the best possible educational opportunities for their child. Additionally, I believe children benefit from experiences that include discovery, exploration, awakening curiosity, and an appreciation of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.
My Project
I am requesting Lego WeDo 2.0 robotics kit sets and a pair Google Chromebooks to make science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and coding come to life for my students. Using the combination of the LEGO bricks, computer software, and engaging, standards-based projects, students will build confidence to ask questions, define problems, and design their own solutions. STEM learning will be extended by integrating life, physical, earth, and space sciences, and engineering. Guided by the Next Generation Science Standards, students will work in cooperative groups to engage in project-based learning to produce robotic creations, and use coding to program their robots to complete a specific action and task. Students will then present their final robotics project to their classroom and school peers. Also, students will post videos of their completed robotics creations on our classroom online blog, expanding their learning boundaries beyond the classroom and towards a global understanding.
Please help my students be creative problem-solvers and equip them with the necessary STEM knowledge and skills to be innovative and imaginative thinkers.
With your generosity, bringing LEGO robotics technology to my classroom will help make abstract STEM concepts tangible to my students. LEGO bricks and coding with the Google Chromebook will bring abstract concepts to life with a fun, hands-on approach that will engage all my students and provide them with necessary 21st century skills.
