My Project

STEAM education is important to develop especially in our youngest learners because they are the future problem solvers! Our students learn best through building and being creative. Magnets are a fantastic way for students to explore engineering while playing at the same time!

These magnet sets will support our STEAM curriculum by giving students opportunities to be engineers as well as being free to use their imagination.

My students will learn social skills by sharing these supplies and creating together. Magnets can help my students develop many skills 21st Century skills needed. For example, communication, critical thinking, the use of creativity, and teamwork.

STEAM education not only supports problem-solving and collaboration, but students love having hands-on experiences!
