La Línea, 2019
The Let’s Bot! team at La Línea included three robotics teachers from New York City, coordinators from local community organizations, my two younger brothers and me. I had two jobs, the first was as a translator between the American teachers, and Spanish teachers and students. The second was to support the ten Spanish teachers trained during the first week of the program, and then to mentor the thirty girls during week two, helping them visualize, design and build their robots.
Besides the success achieved in our community, the program made an impact at a national level. The activity was covered by the media and over 1,500,000 people were educated and made aware of the program.
