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 have 150 motivated students using STEM Lab computers, programs, and robotics equipment. Students were pulled suddenly from these technological learning resources when we went to distance learning at the end of last year and will be looking forward to in-person.
The students are now back and ready to engage with the hands-on technology in our STEM Lab.
With reduced elective choices, students are re-taking STEM Lab. We are revamping to offer a semester of new projects.
For many of the students, STEM Lab is the best part of the school day. It is where they explore a technology in a project of their own choosing. More than half of my students come from low-income households with limited resources. STEM Lab is the only place many students have hands-on access to learn about different technologies.
My Project
These keyboards will replace the old keyboards in our STEM Lab. Disinfecting for COVID-19 and time have taken a toll on our keyboards. Students raise their hands to let me know about various keys failing, "Hey, miss? The Caps Lock is not working."
With these new keyboards, students will be able to focus their full attention on their STEM projects.
My students have already shown great creativity in their projects. The best way to further their success is to ensure they have fully functional equipment to begin with. The new keyboards will support them to achieve even more.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
