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

Our school is the most racially diverse high school in the city, We are very diverse, with students from many different cultural backgrounds and about 94% of our students receive free or reduced lunches. Many of these children come from hard backgrounds, and have difficult home lives.

My students are 15-16 years-old and vary in ability and cultural backgrounds.

All of my students participate in projects using Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) technology. They love collaborating with students from other programs within our school to complete projects.

My Project

My students are in a new program called Unmanned Aerial Systems. This program is one of very few in the country at the high school level. My students learn to build UAV's also known as "drone's". We have built a couple of drones this year and these additional kits will allow my students to use all the knowledge they have gained to build a more advanced drone.

The world of UAS is changing so fast it is important for my students to keep up with all the latest advancements in this field.

My students love building drones and the Flamewheel F550 gives them the opportunity to build a large drone. This means they will have to build a larger circuit with more complex programming. With a larger drone comes more potential problems. These problems will force my students to collaboratively problem solve and trouble shoot so they can achieve a functioning, flying drone.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
