Challenge Your Brain

Help me give my students 3D pens, games, and origami paper to challenge their minds and creativity.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Thompson's classroom raised $684

This project is fully funded

My Project

The games, 3D pens, and origami paper will be used to challenge my students and foster creativity. By providing a variety of choices they can experience different challenges and ways to be creative.

The strategy games allow for varied ways of thinking; the fun games give the students a needed break in their day; the 3D pens and origami paper provide creative outlets for trying new ideas.

Thank you for giving my students the opportunity to experience new and challenging games and to express their creativity in new and interesting ways.
