My Students

We want our students to have a passion for learning and we encourage this through hands-on STEAM projects in our two STEAM labs. I love seeing their faces light up when they accomplish a new task and their eagerness to share how they persevered even though they had to reevaluate and redesign their projects, maybe several times.

This is a new opportunity for our students this year to come and learn in our STEAM labs.

We hope to continue providing hands-on learning experiences with your help!

My Project

We use lots of tape and art supplies for creating in STEAM lab. We combine our art supplies with lots of everyday items like cardboard tubes and egg cartons to build famous landmarks, alligators whose mouths slide open and closed and snowmen, just to name a few projects.

We love to include art in our STEAM labs and the students love opportunities to build with LEGOs and make their own creations, too.

We also have some cool coding mice and electric boards that require lots of batteries for the children to explore.

We serve students from K4-5th grade with these supplies.
