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 Pre-k - 8 digital literacy and computer science .

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 about 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

My students will need these materials to learn about physical computing and circuitry. The students will use devices like the Makey Makey and Micro:Bit to create game controllers, musical instruments, or other input devices that they can connect to the computer. They will learn about conductors and insulators along with understanding circuitry. These materials will allow for numerous different projects to take place throughout the year. There are many conductors and a few insulators in the list to help them with their creative process. Hopefully towards the end of the year they will learn about machine learning and AI using these materials.
