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 used Amazon’s virtual tours, highlighting robotic engineering to learn about coding, parts of the fulfillment system and computer science vocabulary. They also practiced directional coding on paper.

I would love to give them an opportunity to really program code, observe movement and improve when necessary.

The Learning Resources mouse/cheese sets look like the perfect addition to our STEM lab.

My students are very enthusiastic learners. They are constantly inquiring and designing in our lab. More materials are needed to keep up with the demand, as also seen in flower garden pieces and mats needed for easier cleanup.
