Help me give my students art supplies, paper and paint, a scanner and robots, and Compact Discs so they can fuse art and instructional technology by designing robots, coding, and creating a digital portfolio to showcase the process.

Celebrating 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
My students are urban scholars that have so much potential without the resources to match. While the neighborhood they live in has been developing, many of the resources have not reached the sections where their families reside. They are inquisitive students that range in age and ability. My students enjoy learning and have different learning styles. They love science and are excited about using technology for scientific research. Some of my students can tell you about the latest video games or what Apps they use on their parent's smartphones, while others have a television set as their most advanced technology.
When there is a challenge, that is when my students really come to life.
It is a joy to see them deep in thought or trying to discover something new. Many of my students have special needs and require accommodations for learning. Although my students can get easily distracted, they do not let that keep them from trying out new technology in the classroom. They rely upon one another to learn how to use and solve problems with technology in class. My students learn that if they work hard, greatness will be the outcome.
My Project
My students have been learning to use instructional technology as a tool for creating, problem-solving, and sharing. The materials I am requesting will provide my students with the tools they need to learn how to code, use art design their own robots and create a digital portfolio to showcase it.
Students will use a combination of Science, Technology, Art, Engineering design, and Mathematics in this project while they plan, draw, paint, develop prototypes, and create digital portfolios to showcase and share what they learned.
During this project students will also learn some historical context as it relates to technology.
Students will use a combination of old and new technology used to make art and explore misconceptions about what technology is. For example, a writing pen is a form of technology that was created to help people write to record or send messages more quickly and efficiently. Students often take for granted the everyday technological tools that replaced the technological tools of the past and led us to the technology we use today.
As a culmination of this projects students will use the compact disc or DVD (an older audio/visual technology) to create their own digital portfolios to share and keep. Obtaining these resources will help my students learn to use old and new technology and artistic expression to help them to design the technology of the future.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
