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

Inspire the next generation of engineers! My 4th - 8th grade students are integrating science, technology, math and the inquiry process to create machines from scratch. The motors you provide will help these 80 students bring their projects to life and extend their learning experience.

My students attend an inner city public school and are mostly second language learners.

Happily my robotics class contains a variety of cultures, genders and spans grades 4th -8th. These eighty students selected the Robotics Inquiry Academy because they are interested in this field of study. The students will be presenting their completed projects to their peers and local community. They will utilize these motors for several projects throughout the year. It is my intention that these motors will become a staple within our permanent robotics curriculum. Help us provide the tools these budding engineers need to test their theories.

My Project

Our students are currently working on designing and constructing rovers that will travel over a variety of terrains. They are testing and confirming their scientific and mathematical understanding through the inquiry process. The students will continue to construct and design machines throughout the year. However due to funding we do not have enough motors to make intimate groupings. The additional 30 motors will enable our students to work in smaller groups. Thus allowing the students to have a greater voice in developing and testing a variety of authentic designs. Our students will learn how to work as a team to integrate math and science principles. These smaller work groups will help them academically by increasing each student's talk time to clarify key mathematical and scientific concepts.

One of the foundations of our school is the belief that our students learn through the scientific inquiry process.

The Robotics Inquiry Academy follows this vision by challenging our students to use everyday products to build machines. We will use the motors donated to build and expand upon our developing robotics curriculum. We are building the engineers of the future by providing them with the opportunity to construct and test their ideas with a variety of design challenges.
