Discussion Question
Is Luis typical of kids in your community? Why, or why not?
What is typical anymore?? Isn't Luis, as a possible "atypical" kid the kind of kid we are striving to empower?
Well done Luis and all the people around him who provide inspiration, support and opportunities to be all that he already is.
This was a great video and
This was a great video and 4-H it seems, is just doing what they have always done, and that it to help expand the education of our youth. I participated in 4-H when I very young and at the time it's focus was agricultural. It was only natural that 4-H would jump into the high speed communication age and good for them. I am sure that many children like Luis will benefit and thanks for targeting the Hispanic youth.
Answer to question 1. Yes Luis is typical of the children in my community but the families lack the resources to purchase a computer. 2. I feel that they compliment each other and helps to teach him how to multitask. 3. Luis's mother who only speaks spanish has Luis there to help guide her through the process of paying bills and doing one of her's and what many more Hispanic mothers love to do, and that is to watch Novelas. 4. Tech Wizard helps students like Luis by expanding their knowledge and opportunities to higher education. 5. The Lego Robotics helps the children become creative and work out ideas as well as see the possibilities.
