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

Save our brains! We need a reliable computer that will run NXT software efficiently that will keep up with the students' ability to program.

Our team is comprised of 10 motivated and very creative 4th and 5th graders!

They love competing in the First Lego League competitions because it provides a challenge to not only push themselves with robotic programming but also in solving global problems with an innovative solution.

My Project

Students will be able to take the laptop with them to program the robot at the competition. They will be able to extend their learning at home to work and critique programming skills. Students will be able to take the laptop to the robotics table to better program their robot.

Having a reliable and portable computer to program with will benefit the students' because they can concentrate on challenging themselves instead of worrying about technical issues.
