My Project
Our elementary school has taken on CTE for all grade levels. This year, we’re diving into a fun and exciting project—building marble runs!
This project is part of our commitment to interactive and experiential learning, where students get to learn by doing.
They’ll design, measure, cut, and build their own marble runs, applying real carpentry skills while sparking their creativity and problem-solving abilities. It’s hands-on learning at its best, and the kids can’t wait to get started!
To make this project happen, we need a few tools to help bring their ideas to life, including hammers, manual hand drills and measuring rulers.
With these tools, our students will not only build marble runs but also gain important life skills through active participation. They’ll see their designs come to life, troubleshoot challenges, and experience the pride of building something with their own hands.
More than three‑quarters of 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
