Building Bright Minds: Stem Adventures for 2nd and 3rd Graders
Help me give my students the gift of expanding their brain with creative projects that they can build, solve, and play with. Thank you for making a difference for these kids.
By integrating magnetic blocks, straw blocks, and shape puzzles into our STEM curriculum, we will not only foster students' curiosity but also give them the tools to become the engineers, scientists, and innovators of tomorrow.
By using magnetic blocks, straw blocks, and shape puzzles, students will develop critical skills in engineering design, geometry, and problem-solving.
These activities foster creativity, improve spatial reasoning, and encourage teamwork as students collaborate to find solutions to engineering challenges.
With your support, we can equip young learners with the knowledge and skills to thrive in a technology-driven world. Success will be measured by student engagement in activities, improvements in problem-solving abilities, and increased enthusiasm for STEM subjects. We will assess learning outcomes through student surveys, teacher feedback, and the completion of building challenges and puzzles.
Half of students from low‑income households
