Having hands-on learning is so important. Students cannot learn from sitting in a chair. They need to be using all five senses as they explore and learn. The STEAM activities being requested for this project will encourage students to use a variety of skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, creativity, curiosity, decision making, leadership and so much more. Gravity Maze Marble Run game teaches critical skills as students work their way through challenges that build spatial reasoning and planning skills. I know the kids will love the “Think Fun Laser Maze Game”. It uses mirrors, a beam-splitter, science, and quick thinking to the laser through a series of mazes to light up a target. Finally, the Gears, Gears, Gears Building Set can be built in many ways. Kids will use their imagination as they experiment with simple mechanics and science. This will be learning at its best – kids having fun while learning. In addition, they will be engaged in social skills such as collaborating, communicating, and working in teams. The kids can leave the outdated and overused textbooks on the shelves and dig into the world of hands-on learning with STEAM activities.
