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

Students have had access to technology but have used it in isolation for the most part up until now. My students want to be creative and have choice in the products and projects they create.

Students should be active creators and not passive consumers.

This project will allow students to be invested in their learning and collaborate in ways they have been unable to over the past year and a half.

Microcontrollers like the Playground Express have endless possibilities in their use. It could be turned into an instrument or it can control and guide a robot.
