Help me give my students Magnatiles and snap blocks to explore STEM concepts through creative building during partner work and fast finisher time.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Bell's classroom raised $190
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
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
This project will bring STEM bins filled with Magna tiles and snap blocks into our classroom. These materials will allow my students to explore engineering, spatial reasoning, and creative problem-solving — all while working with a partner or independently when they finish other tasks.
STEM bins will be available for fast finishers and during partner work time, giving students a constructive and enriching activity that encourages teamwork, design thinking, and imagination.
Rather than relying on screens or passive tasks, students will build, test, and redesign their own structures using open-ended materials. These kinds of activities are especially meaningful for young learners, helping them develop persistence, cooperation, and a growth mindset.
The Impact
Your support will help create a space where young learners can explore real-world STEM challenges at their own pace. These resources will help make our classroom a more engaging, hands-on environment where every student feels like a creator, inventor, and collaborator.
Nearly all 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
