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 classroom is a busy place! It is in use eight periods every day, including lunch. Students are practicing instruments, studying music theory, honing computer skills, and sometimes just coping with life as a teenager! My students live in the inner city. They pass sites and sounds that no child should have to on a daily basis simply traveling to and from school. Many students come from broken homes. Many students have to deal with drug addicted family members or physically abusive guardians. My classroom is a refuge.

My Project

My computer science class represents a window into the future. With these Arduino robot kits, we will delve into the worlds programming and electronics. My students and I will embark and an awesome adventure that will empower them with the skills and experience needed to join the internet of things revolution. We will learn C/C++, play with a myriad of senors that detect light, motion, magnetic fields, and more. We will write code that helps Sparki navigate around the classroom and beyond. We will use these robot kits to supplement our work with HTML, CSS, and JavaSciprt along with Scratch.
