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

These introductory robotics kits will allow my students to be exposed to the technological fields of tomorrow via hands-on exposure. These robotics kits will challenge my students to learn the basics of computer programming, electrical engineering, hardware design, the engineering process, and exposure to the scientific method.

By exposing my students to these technologies, I know that they will come to understand that they, too, can have a career path in STEM.

Together, we can inspire the inquisitive minds of our future innovators and industry leaders!

Classroom organization is very important to our classroom environment. One way that we are looking to take our organization to the next level is with a scanner to help both students and me stay organized. Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about our project! We are so grateful for donors like you!
