Building Little Engineers with STEM

Help me give my students STEM centers with kinetic sand to experience hands-on learning!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Emily's classroom raised $217

This project is fully funded

My Project

My preschool students are kind, excited young learners that love to play. I love giving them new ways to incorporate learning while being hands-on. STEM centers build early math and science skills that will help them succeed for years to come.

A kinetic sand center will help my students develop fine motor and STEM foundations for the rest of their educational careers.

The kinetic sand will fill our sensory table for small-group centers. Students will be able to use the toys and other objects to build whatever their young minds come up with. We will get to imagine far off places, build our fine motor skills, and so much more in the world of STEM.
