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

I love how curious, creative, and eager my students are to learn new things. They thrive when they can explore, build, and solve problems together. Micro:bits will give them the tools to do just that—turning abstract coding concepts into exciting, hands-on projects. These resources will help them think critically, collaborate, and gain confidence as problem-solvers. Learning computer science will open doors for my students, giving them essential skills for the future and helping them see themselves as creators, not just consumers, of technology. As well as teaching them to solve problems by trouble shooting issues.
