My Project
I am creating this project to help my students explore STEAM activities through creativity and play-based learning. My students are naturally curious and full of questions about how the world works. They light up when they get to build, explore, and create with their hands, and that’s exactly what STEAM learning is all about. I can offer lessons that are both fun and meaningful.
With these supplies, my students are able to explore each aspect of STEAM, mainly engineering, art, and math.
Primary students love hands-on activities, and with these supplies, they are able to explore using hands-on activities. Also, since my friends are early learners, they need these things to build the foundation of their learning experience.
Additionally, we'll use the floor seats to be comfortable while working with some of our new manipulatives.
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
