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 Project

Our expanding competitive engineering programming has expanded our students' creativity and engineering ambitions. They set high standards for their competitive build quality.

We would like to expand our Electrical and Code Programming capabilities for our students to build and compete with the robots they design.

These new and advance sensors will help our students be able to program more accurate movements into their competition robot. Students will work as a team, meeting challenges creatively and collaboratively, all while using science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) related skills.

We would have applied engineering, science, math, and technology to solve complex, open-ended problems in a real-world context, all while developing highly transferable skills in collaboration, communication, and critical thinking, which are relevant for STEM careers. Please help provide resources that can help us become the next generation of STEM professionals.
