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

"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." Every day my students come ready to learn and apply their new knowledge. Yet, attending a school with little resources makes it difficult to implement the most innovative and effective teaching strategies.

My students attend a historically low performing school and are in desperate need of some transformational changes in how they are educated.

The majority of the students I teach are faced daily with the struggles of poverty, violence, and low expectations. Despite this, my students are profoundly inquisitive. They are resilient and creative beyond belief. They are light-hearted, caring, and vocal. They process and interpret the world with a point of view that only a small portion of our society has the opportunity to witness. I come excited to work every day because there is so much potential and promise with these young minds.

My Project

An organization called CodeBot has partnered with my classroom to bring coding and robotics into schools that have scarce extracurricular activities.

My students will be building Vex IQ robots and learning to code.

I am asking for these resource so that my students can be completely engaged in this partnership and even extend to an after school club. Sandwich bags and pliers are needed to assist students in working with small robotics building pieces. I am requesting labeling materials so students can name and label their robots and accompanying gadgets. After every interaction with the robots, student will keep track of their progress in scientific journals. The camera film will be used to print out photos of the robots for student journals.
