Help me give my students learn engineering principles and problem-solving skills through bridge building!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Carver's classroom raised $553
This project is fully funded
My Project
My students love learning through doing! Students will learn fundamental engineering principles of structural design and teamwork while constructing model bridges from various materials. The bridge building kits we are requesting will do just that.
The club provides a creative space for students to apply science and math concepts to real-world challenges, fostering a passion for STEM subjects.
Throughout the sessions, students will experiment with different bridge designs, honing their problem-solving skills and gaining practical engineering insights. The club not only promotes academic growth but also cultivates a sense of collaboration and innovation among its members. Lastly, students will see how school can help prepare them for a career.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
