My students are from the highest of poverty backgrounds. They are not usually exposed to positive learning challenges outside of school. We are a smaller school in a very large school district.
They are in my Gifted and Talented classroom.
They are problem solvers with growth mindsets. When they encounter a problem, they don't stop at "I don't get it." They say, "I don't get it YET." We incorporate STEAM into our class as much as possible to grow our minds and help us develop strategies and new ways to look at challenges!
My Project
These materials will help my students continue to engage in STEM projects as a form of enrichment. STEM kits and activities are great for my identified gifted kids because these students often plateau in the regular classroom. These STEM materials can advance their skill levels and help them to problem-solve at more advanced levels. They will be working in groups to discover and create ways to build projects and attain goals.
One of my goals is to spark more interest in engineering, especially for my female students.
We are a very high poverty school. My students most likely would not get to experience these types of challenges outside of my gifted enrichment class.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
