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.
As a teacher in a high poverty school district, I see my students face many challenges both in and out of the classroom. Gangs roam the neighborhood recruiting them at a very young age. Despite the challenges they have many students are eager to be the exception and strive for excellence. I aim to provide my students with meaningful yet creative learning experiences. Our school's motto is to prepare leaders in mind, body, and character for success in college, career, and a life of service within the global community through an education that values honor, courage, and commitment.
My Project
My students have a vision to clean up their neighborhood, we hope to build a robot that can pick up hazardous waste around the neighborhood and deposit in into a trash receptacle. They will use these power tools to create their trash bin. The miter saw will help in making precision cuts while keeping students safe. The workbench will allow a space to work on. The heat gun will allow them to bend plastic to make different shapes and mold them.
Students are not only learning workforce skills but applying engineering strategies into their designs.
These items will help promote the engineering design process in our class by making this project possible. Students will be able to dig in to hands-on learning and discovery with the use of these tools.
