Collaborative Space for STEMing

Help me give my students a safe and collaborative space to build together.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Collins's classroom raised $2,861

This project is fully funded

My Project

As a new teacher, I want to give my students the opportunity to collaborate and work on their problem solving skills through different STEM challenges. Currently, I do not have a space other than their desks.

The carpets will provide my students with the ability to engage in different activities related to technology, engineering, and mathematics.

This extra space will be a gathering area where students can enhance their thinking.

The iPad will be used to bring the students designs to life. The students will have the ability to share their creativity to the class using the airplay feature to connect to the overhead projector.

Thank you in advance for supporting my students and their learning journey!
