Colors of Discoveries in a Young Child's Mind

Help me give my students acquire supplies to enhance fine motor and cognitive skills and build confidence in S.T.E.M. Thank you, Ms. King

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. King's classroom raised $450

This project is fully funded

My Project

S.T.E.M. plays a crucial role in developing a young child's mind. The materials provided will assist children in making patterns, utilizing critical thinking skills, learning essential life skills, and telling time, all of which will challenge their cognitive abilities in S.T.E.M. Students can use stencils to enhance their fine motor skills for writing and drawing.

These young scholars will be able to explore and help shape a better world for tomorrow's future leaders.

The materials can be used both inside the classroom and outdoors for hands-on discoveries. This approach will give each student a head start in life.

Thank you,

Ms. King
