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

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 1 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 littleBits STEAM Student Sets and a Spark Quadcopter to make science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and coding come to life for my students. Using the combination of the littleBits, computer software, and engaging, standards-based projects students will build confidence to ask questions, define problems, and design their own solutions. Students will think critically and create electronic solutions to problems they see in the classroom.

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.

For example, students will engage in engineering design as they build an invented self-driving vehicle. Students will design an electric car of the future as they experiment with motion and stability. Students will test and run their invented self-driving vehicle outdoors. Students will then use the Sparks Quadcopter to shoot outdoor aerial video footage of their robotics project at various angles and heights.

Students will present their robotics creations to the school community and explain the purpose, use and function of their electronic design. Students will then use the recorded video footage by the Sparks Quadcopter, and post the 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.
