Keyboard and Mice for Coding

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

At our school, a New York City public school in the Bronx, I teach AP Computer Science and Intro to programming to high school seniors. My students have responded really well to the curriculum and we have increased our level of participation in these courses over the last 4 years.

In my AP CS course last year, we doubled enrollment to two full sections.

Seeing people that my students can connect with represented in my physical classroom space and curriculum is key. Last year we celebrated that 66% of my students who took my AP CS class identify as female, 71% identify as Hispanic/Latinx, 26% identify as Black, and 3% identify as Asian. In my curriculum, we are focusing on social justice in tech, what it means to be a digital citizen and what the inalienable rights of digital citizens should be.

In my Intro to programming elective, my students learn JavaScript and how to draw and animate on the computer, culminating in an animated short film festival, in the winter. My students also learn HTML and CSS in the Spring and create dynamic web-pages using adobe creative suite and other web builders.

My Project

All of my students are programming during their senior year and they are designing and creating apps and websites regularly. Some of my students have expressed that they work better on a larger monitor and a fellow teacher at my school passed along two iMacs that work but have no mice and keyboards. Having this space to support learners, particularly those that need a larger screen will be immensely helpful. Rotating student groups through these computers with larger monitors for share outs, presentations and collaborative work will also help my students support and learn from one another as they learn, design and build in JavaScript.
