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

With Circuit Playgrounds, my Computer Science students can use the design and technology principles we have been studying all year to create physical projects that demonstrate what they have learned. Each pack provides enough materials for 15 students.

Circuit Playground Express allows students to integrate their programming knowledge with their individual interests.

Each playground has a powerful microcontroller as well as built-in sensors, inputs, and outputs. It's the best way to practice programming on real hardware - no soldering or sewing is required - and students get to draw from their own interests and creativity to design their projects.
