Help me give my students the Knex and STEM items to help them build and work with circuits and machines to extend our curriculum. These items will help reinforce our circuits units, building bridges, and simple machines exploration.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
We have some of the best students even though they face many obstacles. Our campus is a Title I bilingual campus with over 80% of our students classified as economically disadvantaged. They deserve every opportunity to succeed and to be engaged in every part of their learning.
Student engagement is one of the many keys to us reaching our students and helping them fit into the ever-changing world they live in.
Our classrooms of today cannot continue to look like our classrooms of the past if we want our students to be problem solvers and use all the skills they need to be successful in the world they live in. Our spaces should be conducive to open collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. We need to provide our students with choices so that they can be successful in their educational endeavors.
My Project
Our Makerspace is full of some great items, but we are always looking for products that will extend our learning in the classroom. These Knex Simple Machines, Gears, and Structures kits will help reinforce the learning in the classroom while giving the students the hands-on experiences to build and try their ideas. We have also chosen some circuits kits that will help reinforce the electrical unit as well.
Our students love to tinker and explore and these kits are perfect for designing and building and testing their creations.
They need to be able to see levers and pulleys in action and actually create their own to see how they work. They need to test and revise to see how using simple machines correctly can make their work load easier. They need to create their own circuits and find out what makes them work and be able to problem solve when they don't.
