Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

As a first-year STEM teacher, I have learned many tricks of the trade through trial and error. I want my students to be engaged and excited for all that STEM has to bring their young minds and more often than not it is challenging to keep their focus, with dry topics. However, there is one way I have discovered, that keeps their attention 100% of the time.

LEGOs are more than just a toy.

They are an opportunity for students of all ages to participate in team building, innovation, and creativity. They provide kids with a disability to use their fabulous abilities to express themselves and obtain a hands-on environment.

LEGOs would be incredibly loved and well taken care of in my STEM classroom.

“Through play, we see that children are already scientists, technologists engineers, and mathematicians” - Tom Hobson
