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

"An understanding of computer science is becoming increasingly essential in today’s world. Our national competitiveness depends upon our ability to educate our children in this critical field.” ~Sheryl Sandberg.

My students are smart, driven, and very verbal.

They are 100% Hispanic. Most of them do not have a computer or other technology at home. They are exposed to violence and socioeconomic limitations, like lack of food, for resources others take for granted. Our school provides a safe environment away from gangs and other socioeconomic limitations. In my classroom, my students get to dream with the sky as the limit. They've planned future traveling plans, designed their dream homes, and have become celebrated community heroes. The classroom is a safe haven where dreaming big is encouraged. Nothing is impossible when they dream, write, and share their future plans. They will thrive as enthusiastic learners when they are provided with memories that will last a lifetime. They will experience and recollect their memories in a whole new way.

My Project

I want to use the Wonder Workshop Dot Robot in my classroom to keep my students engaged, creating, and keeping up with the most modern technology. We will use this robot to learn about computer programming. We will work in small groups so that each child has the chance to explore and learn this new type of literacy. Many professors at the MIT Lab believe that "coding" is the new literacy and in order to thrive in tomorrow’s society, students ought to learn to create, design, and express themselves with digital technologies. This is what this robot will help my students to do besides keeping them engaged in engineering concepts. Teaching kids to code and program computers is not only about the programming. It’s about promoting creativity, curiosity, innovation, and giving young people a sense of how they can create technology. Anytime I can incorporate hands-on science and technology into my classroom teaching atmosphere, is an opportunity for a better and more successful future.

Science and technology are so important to my students' future.

This robot will put them on a path of a love for science, engineering, coding, computer science, and technology-innovations. With your help they can aspire to be future doctors, engineers, chemists, computer scientist, or astronauts! With your help we can help achieve computer science success.
