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

In today's world, equipping young learners with essential skills goes beyond the textbooks! STEM+C integrates Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, and Computational Thinking. STEM+C offers a dynamic approach to learning. The materials for this project would allow students to increase and foster their learning in our classroom. They are developmentally appropriate while allowing them to productively struggle and learn at their fingertips.

We are eager to share an exciting idea with our preschool students that we believe will greatly benefit learning in our classrooms.

As you may know, integrating technology into the classroom can provide endless opportunities for engagement and skill development. In that light, we are hoping to have this project funded for the implementation of Bee-Bots as a valuable resource.

Coding and STEM concepts are often hard for preschool students to grasp, but making it fun with the Bee-Bots always holds their attention. Bee-Bots are small, friendly robots that are specifically designed for young learners.
