My Project

My preschool students are eager to use classroom materials to create architectural structures. They would love to use the large building blocks to construct buildings that they can climb in and out of.

The marble run encourages STEM thinking as well as architectural engineering.

They will learn how connecting pieces in different ways can result in different outcomes.

My goals for these materials are to encourage creative thinking and stimulate engineering capabilities in all of my students.

My preschool children are special because they still have the ambition to learn.
