Throughout the STEM course I teach, students are asked to collaborate to create projects that meet set criteria. The materials I am requesting will open up creativity for my students and allow me to provide more opportunities for hands on tasks in my classroom. For example, my seventh graders work on a probability project where they design and build a carnival game. The game not only has to have an unlikely probability of winning so that they can earn the most tickets at their carnival, but they have to make the game appeal to other students who will be choosing what games they want to play at the carnival. In the past, resources have limited student creativity on this project. The materials I am requesting, will not only be used for this project, but all the other projects that students work on throughout the course.
