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 Students

I want my incoming sophomores at LHS to fall in love with science through its broad application. These are students from challenging backgrounds who have thus far been afforded limited opportunities to do any hands-on science. LHS is a Place-Based Education model, meaning that we try to get kids beyond just reading from a textbook and understanding things conceptually.

We value training students to be critical and confident thinkers in response to a dynamic and sometimes volatile environment, in addition to cultivating lab procedural skills.

All students deserve a chance to truly experience the wonder of science in a hands-on, minds-on approach. My students are naturally curious but need support to become more self-driven and focused when it comes to science.

My Project

Our students are learning about coding and programming in computer science. The best way for them to learn is through hands-on projects, not just behind their laptops. The hope is that each group of 4 students would be able to build their very own underwater remotely operated vehicle. We would then head to the pool nearby to test and iterate upon their design.

Eventually, the students will be able to add sensors and robotic arms to these ROV kits so that they can be used to combat some climate change development goals such as monitor water quality and the changing coastline, plus helping pick up garbage in the waterways.
