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

I am fortunate to teach science to a diverse group of students in grades 6th, 7th, and 8th. I also teach Information Technology (Robotics I) which my students love. Not only do I love to engage students with weekly hands-on science activities, but I'm obsessed with finding new ways to incorporate digital media into the classroom. I find that my students are highly interested in projects that involve problem-solving through research and technology. It is amazing to see just how quickly students learn to love science and have fun.

My Project

My goal is to attend STEAM and Technology based Professional Development to fine-tune my craft. In order to bring these back to my classroom, I need a laptop that I can use during these workshops as well as to the classroom and for planning at home. This will facilitate my ability to infuse STEAM and technology in a creative way that will increase my students' engagement in the classroom.

My students love creating, whether it's through hands-on activities or through technology and STEAM-based projects.

We have already been working on problem-based projects that involve real-life science concepts. Adding new innovative ideas to my pedagogy will benefit my students' success and love of science and hopefully, they will apply it to their personal lives.
