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.
Our students love learning new information and skills. They are eager to come to school each day with a smile on their faces. They enjoy having opportunities to share their knowledge and newly acquired skills with others.
My school is Title I, which means that most of the student population is considered economically disadvantaged.
Our students face many challenges. However, we are committed to making sure that every student has the resources needed to be successful at school and at home.
My Project
Our students have been participating in the Hour of Coding and have learned some coding skills. We would like to expand their coding into the use of robotics. Sphero Mini Programmable Robots are a great place to start.
Using the app students are empowered to program each Mini.
They can draw paths, use Scratch blocks, or write their own JavaScript text programs. They can give the mini robot it's orders to move about and complete tasks.
The problem solving skills, teamwork, and leadership opportunities are endless when using robotics in the classroom. Perhaps several of our students will discover a passion for a career in computer programming.
