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

My students are caring, young scientists that are eager to learn. We are a K-5 science and technology school in an urban neighborhood. Our goal is to foster a love of learning and provide high quality, hands-on educational experiences.

We are computer science enthusiasts!

We all love to explore through hands-on activities while working to understand the world around us.

This year we are excited to host an after school Kinder Coding program! During this program we would love to introduce our youngest students to the exciting world of robots!

My Project

How should our youngest students learn about computer science? Through hands-on exploration! These requested Magformers robots will provide our Kindergarteners with the tools needed for age appropriate exploration. We cannot wait to see our computer science program grow!

This donation will allow our youngest coding students to bring computer science to life.

Our young learners will be able to “Click, connect, create!” While our students develop their creativity, they will also become creative problem solvers while working as part of a team.

We would love our Kindergarteners to be introduced to robotics during their Kinder Coding course. Through the use of these kits, they will see their robots come to life without using a screen. We will use Magformers to teach our young coders step-by-step instructions. We will also reinforce skills they have learned throughout the year including counting, directions, and persistence. While using these robots, our students will be able to design and create robots that walk and robots that drive!

Help us expand our computer science program to our youngest learners through the use of Magformers Walking Robots and Funny Wheel kits!
