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

Our school is a very ethnically and linguistically diverse school in the Bronx. Our school is a low-income inner city school that is one of the top-performing schools in the state. I engage my students in learning activities that are both academically rigorous and personally meaningful.

My sixth grade class consists of 23 amazing students who face everyday challenges yet they are highly motivated to achieve academically.

They come to school each day excited to learn. My students are highly motivated to do well in school and to eventually go to college to become engineers, doctors, scientists, teachers, and similar career fields. They excel in STEAM subjects by approaching problem solving creatively.

My Project

My students have a strong desire to turn our classroom into a dynamic STEAM classroom using project-based learning activities. With additional resources like Lego Robotics, students will learn how to design, program, build, and implement robotic technology. Robotics help students to think creatively and apply engineering design principles to building innovative solutions.

Creating a robotics infused STEAM classroom will allow my students to play the role of technologist, engineer, and creative problem solver.

In our robotics infused STEAM classroom, students come together to collaborate, design, and build working robots, turning their creative ideas into innovative solutions. My students are especially motivated and excited whey they apply their knowledge and skills in math and technology using hands-on learning. Thus, a chief aim of creating a robotics infused STEAM classroom is to develop students into creative problem solvers and junior engineers.
