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

Our amazing STEM engineers are hoping to continue expanding their learning of computer science, coding and programing by adding Sphero bots to our STEM and engineering lab. We would like to continue our goal of adding robotics to our budding STEM lab and curriculum. Prior to this school year we did not have robotics nor robotic components in our lab. Our goal is to make robotics accessible to full classes to improve equity and give beneficial experiences to our students using draw, block, or text programming as well as the opportunity for our amazing students to learn, explore and open up new worlds in STEM, engineering and programming.
