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

My students are eager, happy, second graders filled with the sense of wonderment and discovery that is common for their age. Unfortunately, due to their economic situations, my children do not always have access to the resources that feed and encourage their quest for learning. I teach in an inner-city school that is part of a large, urban district. We strive to provide all of our students with a complete and comprehensive learning experience. Resources such as the professional development courses will help us to reach that goal.

My Project

The Infosys Pathfinder Summer Institute course, The Junior Botball Challenge is a Computer Science (CS) focused education program that provides equipment, software, curriculum and professional development to elementary educators to enable me to teach my students computer science and computational thinking concepts coupled with real-life applications of the engineering design process. The course implements curriculum that is aligned to Common Core math, Next Generation Science and CSTA standards and vertically aligned to concepts and skills. The inquiry-based program focuses on discrete programming skills and engineering design concepts designed to improve computational thinking skills and promote mastery. The program is currently being successfully implemented in over 350 elementary schools with a focus on education and impacting all of the students in the classroom or extracurricular club or camp. The program is sustainable as schools can reuse the equipment allowing for continued participation. The focus on education (coding and engineering standards) coupled with the sustainability and the low cost of equipment, which includes activity mats, curriculum, and professional development make it easier to target all teachers in a school and not just the STEM, gifted or technology teachers that traditionally participate in these types of activities.
