These hands-on STEAM resources will create new and engaging learning experiences, capitalizing on my students' interests to encourage and motivate learning every day. I will be able to generate lessons that apply to real world applications and provide strategies for challenging their critical thinking and reasoning skills. STEAM learning will also provide an environment to build on growth mindsets while reinforcing the idea that difficult challenges and making mistakes can be productive. My students will be given opportunities to highlight their strengths to work towards goals with both reflection and practice. Through working on independent and collaborative activities my students will have unlimited experiences. They will learn more about themselves and it will help to increase their curiosity in the world. With your generous donation I can facilitate extensive learning opportunities and foster the necessary skills for creating our future STEAM leaders.
