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.
At our school, we have a unique population of students who are eager to learn but often lack the supplies and tools needed to do so, especially now that students are back and forth between remote and in-person learning due to the COVID pandemic.
Over 70% of our students receive free or reduced-price lunch, meaning that the majority of our students come from socioeconomic backgrounds where school essentials are not always the top priority in the home due to basic needs.
Our school has a Project Lead the Way program that allows these students to experience hands-on, career-based STEM learning using real tools and technologies from the field. Even with these unique opportunities, many students are not able to make the most of these experiences because they are not able to obtain everyday supplies to be organized, well-equipped, and ready to learn.
My Project
My co-teacher and I have struggled to bring our Science and STEM Electives to life in a remote learning environment. So much of Science learning cannot be done from a textbook alone and we need the tools to bring relevant Science topics and materials to our students while they are learning at home.
In the classroom, we have robots, microscopes, rock and animal specimens and we desperately need ways to bring these manipulatives into Science learning at home!
Whether it is a Lego Robot creation, a chemical reaction, or strata in rock samples, these doc cameras will bring learning to life online!
