This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
I am teaching STEAM for the first time and my students are engaged in hands-on projects and project based learning each day. Finding the materials to use in their creations can be a challenge. My goal is to provide a variety of building materials to suit the needs of all my learners.
Having building materials readily available in a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) classroom can significantly enhance learning and creativity.
Help me give my students building sets from Kaplan Early Learning Company for my STEAM students to use when creating and constructing original designs! These materials contribute to a richer educational experience by fostering creativity and artistic expression; promoting problem solving skills; strengthening critical thinking and innovation; and building fine motor skills and cognitive development.
By providing building materials in a STEAM classroom, students gain access to a versatile toolset that enhances their learning experiences through hands-on, interactive activities. This approach encourages curiosity, supports different learning styles, and prepares students for complex problem-solving in future educational and career paths!
