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 love to make and do things. I ordered a few cases of snap circuits earlier, thinking that a few students would enjoy the advanced projects. Instead of a few students enjoying them, they have proved immensely popular and I do not have enough to go around.

We are a rural school district in Central Washington.

All three schools are on a single campus, with about four hundred students at the high school. Many of the parents are field laborers with limited proficiency in English. Approximately 80% of our students are Mexican. The poverty level is so high that 100% of the student body receives free lunch. The vast majority of the students appreciate the value of a good education and work to take advantage of what is being offered to them. They especially benefit from hands on instruction, such as the kind these kits make possible.

My Project

These materials will provide much needed tools for my students to learn about an important technology that drives virtually every aspect of our modern lives, but is frequently taken for granted. These kits will allow my students to learn about series and parallel circuits. They can also learn about the logic circuits that drive computer systems. Advanced students will learn how capacitors and transistors function in electric circuits. These circuit kits are incredibly flexible and have enough variety to engage students at virtually any grade level. Students can even use this kit to build a functioning radio!

My students have been very engaged with the few sets I have.

One student asked "Why can't we do things like this every day?" They are learning way more from the snap circuits than I could ever hope they would learn from a book. I hope that once they have a taste of what they can do, they will be inspired to pursue engineering and science disciplines--something our country desperately needs.
