The proposed grant project aims to integrate literature, robotics, and creative expression by providing sixth-grade ELA students with Hummingbird Robotics Kits to animate scenes from their fantasy graphic novels. Students will delve into the captivating world of graphic novels, analyzing themes, characters, and plot development through the lens of the hero's journey archetype. By selecting scenes from these novels and animating them using Hummingbird Robotics Kits, students not only deepen their understanding of literary elements but also gain valuable STEM skills, fostering a holistic approach to learning that combines creativity, critical thinking, and technical proficiency. With the resources provided by the grant, students will construct physical dioramas based on their chosen scenes, program the Hummingbird components to bring their creations to life, and ultimately present their animated scenes to their peers, fostering collaboration, creativity, and interdisciplinary learning. Funds will also be used to purchase mentor texts for instructional use during the unit.

Students will use the resources provided for in this grant to make informed decisions on crop production within our high school's AgTech Lab. They will be able to measure photosynthetic phenotypes in real field conditions, identify biotic and abiotic stresses in plants and collect data points that allow them to assess the photosynthetic performance of the edible cultivars they are researching. The data that is collected will be processed, visualized, and modeled using a scientific computing curriculum that we have developed with the aid of Brookhaven National Lab.

Within Arlington Central School District, our mission includes fostering learning opportunities through the use of innovative technology. We are seeking to purchase 7 Pocketalk translation devices for use by our ENL students. To facilitate equal access to education, wearable translators could empower non-English learners and enhance their ability to engage effectively in educational settings by having instant translation of classwork in their native language. Students will use this two-way translation device to engage in full conversations with teachers and classmates as well as translate written text using the built in camera.
