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

My students love creating, and our class is very hands-on. They come to class every day with questions and I try to show them that learning is a life long process for both the student and the teacher.

It is great seeing students learn an emerging technology like drones because they know that they can be just as much of an expert as an adult if they apply themselves.

This drone will make our time flying and filming more efficient as the screen is built into the controller, which eliminates the need for an iPad. This drone will also be part of our discussion regarding FAA regulations with weight limits and flying requirements and limits.
