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

Help us inspire th-8th grade students across five schools in our district with an epic, American Ninja Warrior-style coding competition! Students will put their programming skills to the test by coding drones to navigate a thrilling obstacle course. The challenge? Write the most efficient code using the fewest lines to get their drone through the course as quickly as possible!

This high-energy event will spark curiosity and excitement for computer science and coding, giving students a hands-on opportunity to develop problem-solving skills, creativity, and real-world programming experience.

With your support, we can provide drones, coding tools, and an unforgettable experience that will motivate students to explore STEM in a fun, competitive way!
