My Project

My students love opportunities to build, create, and explore through hands-on learning. Some of their best conversations and problem-solving happen when they are working together and using their imaginations. Many of my students also benefit from activities that strengthen fine motor skills, encourage teamwork, and allow them to learn through play.

These building sets will give students meaningful opportunities to create structures, experiment with design, and think critically while having fun.

The interlocking pieces help strengthen coordination and persistence as students figure out how pieces connect and how to bring their ideas to life. The castle theme and figures also encourage storytelling, communication, and collaborative play, which helps build both social and academic skills.

My goal for this project is to create more opportunities for hands-on STEM learning in a way that feels exciting and accessible for young learners. These materials will encourage creativity, problem-solving, and confidence while giving students a fun way to learn together.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
