Help me give my students STEM kits to develop their engineering skills! Hands-on is the best way for middle school kids to learn, grow, connect, communicate, and thrive. opportunities.
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
All students thrive with hands-on opportunities to work together, build, and communicate. Project-based learning using the engineering design process has been very successful at our school. The resources in this project include: Simple Machine models, Marble Run kits for every student, and extra pieces for longevity!
These STEM kits will support our 8th graders in understanding force and motion and provide much-needed supplies for students to build a "Rube Goldberg" machine!
We are looking forward to more project-based tasks and hands-on learning this school year.
Please help support my students with giving to this project. Many thanks in advance.
More than half of students from low‑income households
