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 am a STEAM teacher of students in grades 3-5. As an elementary STEAM teacher, I have the opportunity to spark creative passions and expose my students to a variety of educational opportunities that will prepare them for the future. My school is a Title I school, with the majority of students coming from low-income homes. Because of this, many of the students don’t have access to technology and creative materials at home. My hope is that I can expose them to unique educational experiences that not only ignite their motivation for learning but also helps them develop a passion for creating and inventing as well as preparing them for the future with in-demand skills.

My Project

As a STEAM teacher, I am constantly looking for new and innovative ways to get my students creating. My students have experience coding but still, tend to see coding as something that is done completely on screen. Even though we've coded robots, my students have never had the opportunity to combine coding with making.

This SAM Labs kit would allow my students to bring coding to life.

It would help my students see that coding is way more Tham something that is done on a screen or something that can be used to control a robot. Instead, it would help them see how coding and creativity can be combined to create life-changing innovations!
