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

Although my students come from one of the poorest areas of the South Bronx, they bring a wealth of experiences and ideas to my classroom. They are eager to have meaningful learning opportunities that build upon their interests while teaching the skills necessary to succeed in our technology-driven society.

To say the odds are stacked against my students is an understatement; yet, with the support of caring teachers and other staff members, my students are graduating and moving on to college and successful careers.

Most students enter our school performing below grade level in terms of reading and mathematics. They find themselves subjected to a system of institutional discrimination that makes it difficult for students of color and non-native English speakers to advance.

For my classroom photo, I chose a picture from our most recent graduation to show that my students are capable of great achievements, but they need access to the same resources as their more affluent suburban peers (thank you DonorsChoose.org!) and quality teaching.

My Project

Last year I launched a new robotics course at my school and sparked student interest in STEM fields like computer science, engineering, and robotics. Careers in these areas will continue to expand and I want my students to have access to them.

With another LEGO EV3 robotics kit, students will get more hands-on time with their robots as I'll be able to make their groups smaller.

Students will be able to create robots to do everything from playing basketball to navigating a "burning building" while conducting a rescue mission.

Even if students do not ultimately pursue a STEM career, the computational thinking and design skills they learn will be invaluable in whatever path they choose.
