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

I work in Garden Grove Unified which is an urban school district in Orange County, California. Many of my students live in multigenerational homes or apartments. My school site is 100% free and reduced lunch. My students here have challenges each day, but come to school ready to learn.

Some of the challenges we have are educational, communication, and technology gaps.

Through the pandemic, our school site provided devices and hot spots to a majority of families seeking tools to continue schooling. We have many families who speak another language and we have different educational backgrounds. I am finding out more and more each year that many students are first generational families.

Students seek a balanced day learning as we continue to use devices, reintroduce book routines, and get to work in our outside garden we have on site this year.

My Project

STEM Powered Kits Graffiti Robot are great for teaching engineering and forces through building a robot which draws. Help me give my students a collaborative experience with STEM Powered Graffiti Robots. Students get to learn about the science of robotics in a fun, hands-on way!

Students imagination is sparked as they act and think like a young scientist.

This fun robotics stem kit uses the vibration and spin generated by its motor to create works of art. Adjust the angle and height of the robot's colored pens to make new patterns. Not only does this kit foster creativity and teach mechanical principles, but it's an excellent opportunity to show kids how toys are assembled and function. This project is guaranteed to be tons of fun!
