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 Students

My students are special because they blossom with imagination. I work in an inner-city school system with students whose eyes light up when they are learning Computer Science. I teach K-5 Instructional Technology and Computer Science in an inner city school with a high poverty rate.

Do you remember when you were younger and you would tinker with everything?

You may have built something in your basement or taken apart something because you were curious what it did. I want to give that opportunity to my students. All students should have the opportunity to be the next innovator. You never know who is going to create the next new piece of technology. It could be a 10-year-old kid.

My Project

I would love have to more BeeBot mats so my first grade teachers can use them as centers in their classroom. They will help the students to create interactive centers using the BeeBots to teach Computer Science and Reading skills. I have slowly introduced the BeeBots to the kids and they are so engaged in their learning with them. Students love program the BeeBots to move. These mats will allow me to change the different pictures so that it will relate to their curriculum. I said this is a classroom basic because it is essential to using the BeeBots and being able to change the mat based on the learning needs.
