Bridge Builders

My students need the materials to compete in an engineering challenge: 20 packs of popsicle sticks, 25 bottles of glue and 1 gallon bottle of glue.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Hartman's classroom raised $306

My Students

If you have ever taken an interest in science or engineering, you know how exciting building challenges can be. My students are excited to compete, but we need the supplies to get things done.

My students are stellar scientists.

They love experiments, investigations, and the challenges that come along with the engineering aspect of my lessons. They deserve all of the materials they need to learn and get the right start in the world. With your help, we can make it happen.

My Project

With the resources I've requested, my students will be able to build to their heart's content. Last year, one group surpassed the 25 pounds of weight I had on hand. This year should be even better (and I'll be more prepared). With your help, my kids will have access to the Popsicle sticks and glue they need to test and build their designs, and compete in our school-wide bridge building competition.

My students do not have enough access to the materials they need to succeed.

With your donation, they can start building, and start learning. Thank you for believing in our kids, and in our public schools.
