Celebrating 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
Students in grades 2 - 4 will have a chance to experience a camping adventure like no other while at school! Being in an inner city school, our students haven't had the experience to go camping with their familes. When we read about it class, they always ask about what camping is - so we thought we'd bring the camping adventure to them! While using a coding kit, students will participate in daily design challenges for an entire week with the camping theme. Each day a different challenge is presented. Students will use the design process to develop their prototype and then code the action associated with it. On Monday, they will use recycled materials along with construction paper and tissue paper to design a fire to roast their marshmellows over.
Once they figure out the height of their fire, the real challenge begins - designing a tool to help toast marshmallows over the roaring fire.
They will then build and code their marshmallow roaster to spin, toasting their marshmellow. On Tuesday, students will design a map to get to our camp! To do this, they will use a compass and directions, drawing out their map and then code their robot to follow the path taken. On Wednesday, they will learn about tents, how to put up a real one and what tents need to stay standing even during bad weather which they will test out! They will code the storm that comes through camp! On Thursday, they'll sit around the campfire telling spooky stories they've written while in their tent! The best part of their stories is the sound effects they will code to make the story truly come alive. On Friday it's all about the camp games and challenges they need to particpate in.
