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

We are a Chicago Public neighborhood school, which means we have a variety of students, including low-income, diverse learners, English language learners, etc. We are a Level 1 school of distinction.

Our students love technology, using technology, and are currently learning computer coding, programming, and engineering.

They are eager to expand their knowledge and we aspire to become a full STEM school. They particularly enjoy the hands-on activities and collaboration, and then showcasing projects for others to view, and share what they have learned.

My Project

We would like to add the Dash and Dot Robots for our primary students. They will program these robots to complete different obstacles and/or challenges.

Our students love learning new things and the Dash and Dot Robots will be a fun way for the primary students to learn programming.

Students learn a lot by engaging in hands-on activities; it increases interest in the subject and they like figuring things out on their own.

These materials will make a difference by helping students to increase programming skills and take pride in their work. Diverse learners will also be able to participate.
