My students need Boe-Bot Robotic Kits to expand their learning in STEM through Robotics and Cyber Security.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Salgado's classroom raised $511
This project is fully funded
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 Students
Stephen Shapiro once said, "Too often, we try to fit in with the crowd. We play it safe. But innovation is about taking risks while being true to you. This takes confidence. And it takes the belief that your “style” is what the world needs and wants. Yes, taking this risk may help you stand out. More importantly, it may be the ticket to your success." Student's success, who come from low-income households, is sometimes measured by simply completing and graduating high school. However, my students are more than just a simple high school diploma!
My students are highly motivated individuals that are eager to learn and come up with new solutions to problems using technology that is available at their finger tips.
Most of my students come from different parts of Latin American and Asian countries. They often see problems in different point of views as the living style that they have here is different than from the place their families came from.
My Project
Robots are used in auto, medical and manufacturing industries, in a manner of exploration vehicles, and, of course, in many science fiction films. Building and programming a robot is a combination of mechanics, electronics, and problem solving. The series of hands-on activities and projects will introduce these concepts using the Parallax Boe-Bot Robot.
The goal is to get students interested in and excited in the STEM fields as they design, construct, and program an autonomous robot!
With this, the students will also cover Cyber Security First Principles in STEM to learn about digital citizenship, internet safety, security, privacy, cyberbullying, reputation management, and more.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
