My Project
In our STEM classroom, we believe that every student has the potential to become an innovator. Our Build It Big project aims to provide essential materials—like popsicle sticks, paint, cutting tools, and pipe cleaners—for engaging engineering challenges that inspire creativity and critical thinking.
These materials will allow students to experiment, collaborate, and design their own structures and solutions to real-world problems.
By hands-on building, students learn essential engineering principles while developing skills such as teamwork, perseverance, and problem-solving. These materials will transform abstract concepts into tangible experiences, making learning not only fun but also deeply impactful.
Our goal is to foster a love for engineering and science in every student. We want to create a space where they feel empowered to take risks, learn from failures, and celebrate successes together. Each challenge will ignite their curiosity and encourage them to think outside the box.
Our students are special because of their contagious enthusiasm for learning. They come to class eager to explore and innovate, and with your support, we can give them the tools they need to thrive. By contributing to this project, you’re investing in the future of our young engineers, nurturing their potential, and helping to cultivate the next generation of problem solvers.
Thank you for considering supporting our Build It Big project! Together, we can inspire creativity and make a lasting difference in our students’ lives.
