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

These sphero robots will be a fun way for my students to strengthen their computer science skills and gradually prepare them for current and evolving high-tech demand jobs.

This interactive learning approach, will allow them to explore, strengthen and build confidence in their computer science abilities.

Furthermore, it will teach them critical thinking skills, collaboration, and programming opportunity through a complete hands-on experience in math and engineering lessons. Unfortunately, our school doesn't have the budget to provide this type of technology to every classroom, so your support will make a great impact in my student's learning.
