Help me give my students the tools to explore, create, and grow through engaging, hands-on STEM experiences that inspire curiosity, creativity, confidence, and lifelong learning.

Ms. Bynum Southern Elementary School

Greensboro, NC Grades PreK-2

My Project

My goal is to create a classroom where learning is fun, engaging, and full of exploration while encouraging independence, curiosity, and creativity. Every lesson is designed to align with curriculum standards while giving students meaningful opportunities to collaborate, problem-solve, and grow. This project will help ensure that every child has access to the resources they need, regardless of their family’s economic circumstances. Every student deserves an equal opportunity to learn effectively in a classroom that is welcoming, inclusive, and equipped for success.

Pencils, crayons, glue sticks, composition notebooks, folders, and dry erase markers are the foundation of our daily learning.

These supplies allow students to practice reading, writing, math, science, journaling, note-taking, small-group instruction, and creative projects that reinforce classroom concepts. Having these materials readily available ensures every child can fully participate in learning without worrying about whether they have the necessary supplies.

Tissues, hand sanitizer, desk wipes, and other classroom health supplies help create a clean, healthy learning environment. By reducing the spread of germs, students spend more time in the classroom learning and less time away due to illness. A healthy classroom helps everyone remain focused and ready to learn each day.

STEM materials will allow students to investigate, design, build, test, and improve solutions to real-world challenges. Through engineering activities, collaborative problem-solving, coding, and hands-on exploration, students strengthen critical thinking, creativity, communication, perseverance, and teamwork. These experiences teach children that mistakes are valuable opportunities to learn, helping them become confident innovators and lifelong learners.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
