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

Our school consists of students who love to learn by doing. They consistently request hands-on activities and projects to work on. They enjoy working collaboratively as much as possible, and sharing their work with their parents, other teachers, and our administration.

Our students enjoy using technology to help them learn, they love to be challenged, and thrive when given the chance to use what they are learning to solve real world problems.

They are very excited about coding and programming robots. As part of our STEAM after school program we will be using Lego Mindstorms to explore coding and how technology can be used as a medium to create.

My Project

We are a Title 1 school looking to incorporate robotics into our after school STEAM program, providing students the opportunity to explore ways technology is being used to help people express themselves. These materials will help students to see some of the ways we can use technology to be producers instead of just consumers.

Students will code and program Lego Midstorms EV3 robots to create individual works of art.

In the process they will learn to problem solve, read and write specific instructions, and collaborate with their peers. Their work will be presented to family and friends to show how we can use technology in our everyday lives.

These robots will provide an engaging space where rigorous academic concepts are coupled with real world lessons as students apply science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics in contexts that make connections between school, community, work, and the global enterprise enabling the development of STEM literacy and with it the ability to compete in the new economy. (Southwest Regional STEM Network 2009, p. 3) We will also infuse college and career readiness standards ensuring that students have multiple opportunities to create unconventional ideas and suggestions as solutions to issues, tasks or problems (CRP6. Demonstrate creativity and innovation)
