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 are experiencing the problem-solving techniques used in computer science, for most of them, for the very first time. They are coding in pairs and driver-navigator and I love the way they help each other.

They so so eager to create their own programs and see them in action that it is a joy to teach them and see them grow.

I am using Scratch and we are saving all their programs in digital folders to catalog their programming growth and accomplishments.

My Project

The kids have taken very well to Scratch programming. The ECS and AP CSP CS4ALL computer science curriculum have been very effective in giving students the foundations and confidence to create their own original coding sequences and programs. We will be able to implement PBL lessons where the student-generated ideas become computer algorithms, then their programming skills will be fine-tuned on Scratch, tested virtually by iteration and immediate feedback, then finally these coding ideas will be programmed on actual R2-D2 and mBots. We plan to have the coding stored on the students accounts and the same bots will be used by all my four classes to see how well the bots respond to the student programs. We foresee that the bots may not exactly behaved as hypothesized and open up new venues of creativity as the students engage with actual robots.

These programmable robots will bridge the gap between virtual and actual programming for my students as their original programs and algorithms come to life in the school hallways.

The opportunities for students to apply their inspiration and applications on engineering, math, logic and practical problem-solving skills will be enhanced as the entire school realize how cool is to learn computer science, where you can apply your math, English and any other core course skill you learned or are learning.
