Help me give my students a hands-on experience with programming and implementation.

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

In the computer science program students often struggle with programing because they don't see the end results of their coding or processing. Midi devices allow the user(s) to program any function into a button.

With the power of these Midi devices students can get a visual and hands-on learning experience that will allow them to see results.

Students would be able to obtain a better understanding of how coding can impact results of an event and make adjustments as needed. The requested keypads and controllers will allow the students to learn how to program different devices for specific purposes.
