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

Hello, I teach computer science at a transition center for students with disabilities ages 16-22. In addition to working hard at museums, hospitals, and other organizations, our students have extraordinary talents and creativity. They have demonstrated a fantastic talent in the area of visual arts. They have proven that they can overcome challenges and obstacles.

I am asking for an indi robot car to show students how coding works in action.

Students will learn coding skills and basic computer science concepts. By learning to code, they will also learn computational thinking, which enables them to develop cognitive skills and learn logical and sequential thought processes. This way, they can test their code, spot errors, and quickly solve them. This can also be applied to other situations and will help students in all areas of life.
