Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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 Project

I am requesting a few different Battle Bots for my classroom. Battle Bots are remote-controlled robots that challenge each other in a match. The match continues until there is only one Bot left! With the remote controls, the students will need to control where the Bots move in order to avoid being attacked by the other Bots and so they can take down the other Bots. The students will need to work together to communicate and move the Bot in order to be the last Bot standing. These Bots and remote controls are already made but I am hoping these toys will inspire my students to go a step further and want to build their own robots and remote controls. It is the first step towards a career in engineering! Please hep us get these Battle Bots! Thank you!
