Celebrating 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.
These 12 Makey Makey kits, will profoundly impact my students' learning by offering them hands-on, interactive experiences that foster creativity and innovation. These kits allow students to turn everyday objects into touchpads and combine them with the internet, transforming their approach to technology and problem-solving. By using these kits, students will learn fundamental concepts in electronics, coding, and design, which are crucial in a STEM-focused education. The hands-on nature of Makey Makey kits ensures that students are actively engaged in their learning, encouraging experimentation, critical thinking, and collaboration.
My primary goals for this project are to enhance students' understanding of STEM principles, promote creative thinking, and provide opportunities for practical application of theoretical knowledge.
I aim to create a dynamic and interactive classroom environment where students feel empowered to explore and innovate. By integrating Makey Makey kits into our curriculum, I hope to inspire a passion for STEM subjects and demonstrate the real-world applications of what they learn in class. Additionally, I want to cultivate a culture of teamwork and problem-solving, as students will often work together to create their projects.
What makes my students special is their enthusiasm and potential for learning in a unique, all-girls STEM school environment. They are eager to challenge themselves and explore new ideas, often bringing a collaborative and supportive spirit to the classroom. My students are not only interested in STEM but are also motivated to break barriers and defy stereotypes in these fields. They bring diverse perspectives and creative ideas, making our classroom a vibrant and innovative space. With the right tools and opportunities, like the Makey Makey kits, I believe my students can achieve remarkable things and pave the way for future generations of women in STEM.
