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

Students in my STEM elective class are pretty creative and very energetic. They are a mixed group of sophomores, juniors, and seniors from different boroughs. They are predominantly Hispanics and African American kids who altogether attend our school in lower Manhattan. They are a fun loving group of kids who are all eager and excited to learn something new everyday. I explained to them that since this is a STEM class it required a lot of patience when doing hands-on activities, open mindedness, a lot of imagination, collaboration, as well as logical thinking. I am inspired by these students because everyday when they come in my classroom the first thing they tell me is, “Ms. What challenge are we going to do today?” which gives me an idea that they look forward to doing creative engineering types of work.

My students love the STEM challenges.

They were all either on the floor designing and measuring or drawing their prototypes. Some were also refining their prototypes and testing their designs as they were doing the challenges. Everyone in the classroom participates regardless of reading levels or math levels. All worked together and made their projects to the best of their abilities.

My Project

The water proof camera will help my students document their STEM Stop-motion animation project in different environments. Students will be able to take pictures of objects/subjects submerged in a fish tank or take pictures of objects inside an ice box, or document their subjects in everyday environments.

Pictures students take will be captured one frame at time, with physical objects/subjects moved between frames.

It will be uploaded on a stop motion animation app that will play back the sequence of images rapidly to create the illusion of movement. The camera will help my students exercise creativity as they complete their stop motion animation movie.
