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.
Give this project a boost!
A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
Our students are amazing! We are a dual language, Title 1 school of 750 students with a high percentage of low-income households. Many of our students get to experience technology and robotics for the first time in our makerspaces and STEAM Labs on campus. The majority of these spaces have been funded by grants and now that we have a solid STEAM lab environment for our upper grades, I would like to focus on getting equipment to introduce STEAM to our younger students.
In the PSE Library, we are curious learners and love to explore Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics!
My Project
The older students in our school have been exposed to STEAM manipulatives through our 3D printer and littleBits library, but I would like to expand our STEAM lab for little hands!
Dash and Dot robots are a great introductory robot for the younger grade levels and we would like to try the challenge cards to introduce our students to beginning coding.
Another thing on our wish list are the Buddha Boards. We would like to put these boards in our STEAM Lab as a mindful art activity that can correlate to many of the science topics that we study. Finally, the augmented reality Merge Cubes will actually be a great way to inspire curiosity for all of our students!
More than half of students from low‑income households
