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 class is an environmental STEM lab. I teach all elementary grades from Kindergarten to grade 5 and see about 300 students a week. My students are filled with curiosity and wonder for our great big world and never cease to pose great questions.

My students live in a very urban Brooklyn neighborhood and come from low socioeconomic families.

About 30% are English language learners, although many more students speak another language at home. What they lack in resources and experiences beyond the neighborhood, they more than make up for in their wonder and excitement for the world. My goal is to create learning experiences that bring to life the treasures of our natural and built environments using the integration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

My Project

Imagine owning an amazing airplane without all the necessary software to fly the plane! I have VR technology but Google Expeditions is no longer available for any use.

I need software to make use of the VR technology that I already have in my classroom.

This is especially useful during this COVID time when we are unable to take real field trips to museums and national parks. The Expeditions 2.0 software will enable me to use my VR goggle sets to take students from the highest peak of Mount Fuji to the deepest point in the ocean, Challenger Deep.
