Help me give my students solar model kits to learn how to problem solve and incorporate their learning into the real world.

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
Our students are typical teens and preteens. They love sports and video games. The latest music can be heard playing on their phones before school. Most are from second language learning families. Working class parents come to meetings always eager to see how they can help their children have the best learning opportunities.
They love technology but don't always see how it can be used to help their education.
You see them snapping and chatting. Following each others' tweets and liking different posts. What they are missing is how technology can enhance their learning; both by making it fun and giving them more connections to their learning.
My Project
Even during normal days, not every student has access to STEM focused electives or opportunities. Language development, extra academic support, or even schedule conflicts don't allow all students to be able to take classes that let them explore new technology.
By giving students their own technology kits that they can work on at home, they will be given a taste of some of STEM learning that they may have missed out on.
Students will have the opportunity to explore solar energy, as well as build simple robots in their own homes so they can build their scientific knowledge. Students will receive their own kit to keep and build.
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
