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 from a New York City High School. One of the school's goals is that each students take four years of Science. There is a high need to offer the students engaging STEM lessons.

I am looking to capitalize on my students' desire for engaging and interesting activities to help them understand Physics concepts.

This program will allow the students to use logic and trial and error as they strive to be successful in each task. The students will be able to experience these Physics concepts through hands on activities developed by LEGO education.

My Project

These New York City high school students are in need of engaging and challenging experiences in Physics. There is a hunger in them to learn.

Each student will be working with a partner to strengthen their ability to reason and persevere through problem solving by using these Simple Machines sets from LEGO Education - bringing their childhood memories of playing with LEGOs to the next level.

By working as a team, each student will need to be able to discuss how each task will be completed. Doing this will help them to build their confidence and foster a pride in their work. The students will get experiencing working collaboratively with others, which are skills needed in their future careers.
