Help me give my students some new compasses to assist in our STEM learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Wright's classroom raised $412

My Project

We are a STEM academy which allows students a wide variety of hands-on learning activities both inside and outside the classroom. One of the advantages of the STEM Academy is a daily one-hour math and a daily one-hour science class.

One skill we teach our students is orienteering.

Our compasses have been well used and are in desperate need of replacement.

We need new compasses to help continue to make these opportunities for all of our students to experience a wide variety of STEM activities. Thank you for helping my students be active hands-on learners and enjoy nature as part of their STEM learning experience.
