My Project

These STEM students work hard every year to follow the scientific or engineering method. For the past 4 years we have been using lined paper stapled together to make “STEM activity books”. As teachers we have pulled together various cheap or free resources to help give our students the best STEM learning and projects that we could. Moving into year 5 we would like to bless our students with actual workbooks. These kind of books will allow them to annotate, sketch, theorize, and organize. The other books we are asking for are even more STEM ideas! We want to ensure that these students get hands on engineering projects that they enjoy. The more options we have, the more choices to be independent they have. Please help my STEM students take this upcoming school year to the next level!
