My Project

As a Pre-K teacher, I believe the best learning happens when children explore, experiment, and discover the world around them. My students are naturally curious — always asking “why?” and “how?” about everything! I want to nurture that curiosity by giving them hands-on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) experiences that make learning exciting and real.

Right now, our classroom has the imagination but not the materials to bring those big ideas to life.

I dream of turning our learning centers into a mini-lab where students can build, test, and create. With STEM kits, building sets, and materials for simple experiments, my students will learn to think critically, collaborate, and see themselves as young scientists and engineers.

Many of my students are experiencing school for the first time, and I want that experience to spark a lifelong love of learning. Your support will help them see that they are capable of solving problems, designing new things, and thinking like innovators.

Thank you for helping me give my little learners a bright start in STEM!
