My Project

This project will provide my young students with the tools they will need to explore various STEM topics.

Sparking interest in how the world around us works is the best way to encourage lifelong learners.

With your help, I can create new engaging activities for students to explore how things work in the world around them. Through various books and activities, students will learn the skills they need to understand how science affects all aspects of life. With imaginative play and books, they will also be able to see themselves as future inventors and creators.
