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

We are excited to introduce our amazing TK-8th grade students to real-world challenges and experiences in STEM education. These young minds and future leaders are thrilled for the opportunity of hands-on learning. Their excitement and enthusiasm are contagious! The Edison and Bee-Bot robots will allow students to experience coding, robotics, and hands-on technology activities.

The robots will also allow small groups of students to work together to bolster their communication and sharing skills while they learn to program and problem solve.

Coding also helps with Social Emotional Learning by creating opportunities for cooperation, collaboration, and resilience.

Thanks for your support to help our students become creative thinkers, coders, innovators, and problem solvers!
