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

As a Makerspace teacher, I have the pleasure of watching my students grow. In Makerspace, I empower my students to "think outside the box". We focus on STEAM or Science technology Engerniring Art and Math.

My students are creative, energetic, and eager to try new technology.

We are an ACE (Accelerated Campus Excellence) school, focusing on social-emotional learning, relationships, positivity, collaboration, and trust. They learn through exploration and play, which promotes innovation and critical thinking.

My Project

As a STEAM Innovation teacher, I provide opportunities for my students to learn new technology. My goal for my classroom is the set the foundation for possible careers in STEAM science, technology, engineering, art, and math. I am always trying to find new ways to spark interest in any of these subjects.

Sphero robot will help students beginning their coding journey.

Spheros provides over 70 lessons in Computer Science Foundations is a standards-aligned, supplemental curriculum built on the K12 Computer Science Framework Principles. Thank you for taking the time to look at my project!
