Boosting Creativity With STEAM

Help me give my students hands-on learning and experiences in the STEAM areas.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Jennifer's classroom raised $800

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are in kindergarten through third grade; they love to explore their education through unique manipulatives. This year, we need STEAM learning resources, especially engineering and mathematics manipulatives.

My students develop critical thinking skills through hands-on learning.

My students enjoy working with Learning Resources engineering and design building sets; these sets encourage having fun while learning engineering concepts. My students have also had the opportunity to work collaboratively with Learning Resources gears and the National Geographics marble run. These would be wonderful additions to our STEAM learning for their cooperative aspects. Additionally, my students absolutely love Numberblocks. This show and manipulatives have truly made mathematics fun for my students; we are definitely in need of updated resources.

These STEAM learning resources will be helpful for my students’ engagement and education.
