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

Our library is an exciting place where students can explore, discover, and become passionate learners. Each day I see students from Pre-K through 5th grade. Students come in to learn coding, research, story time, lessons, to check out books, and try new things. The majority of the students I serve are learning English as a second language. My students are very excited about our new makerspace and learning how to code at the library this school year.

Our school library serves more than 500 students along the US - Mexico border.

My Project

My students love science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and through this project we would involve our families in regular after school "Get Techy at Family STEM Night" events. Stations will be set up for students to work together with their family to complete STEM challenges.

Robotics, coding, STEM games, building/ engineering challenges with legos and KEVA blocks will entice our students to build critical thinking skills while having fun learning STEM concepts.

Students in Pre-K-5th grade will have a chance to use Dot and Dash to learn robotics and coding. They will complete challenges at a variety of difficulty levels with the help of their families. Our area is very low income and the majority of our students do not have access to robotics or coding at home. Students and their families are excited and eager to try STEM games and participate in these fun, educational events.
