My Project
Help me develop creative skills for this 21st century. My students come to school ready to learn and come from many diverse socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds thus representing diverse communities.
I need help with planning and building paper engineering activities to engage and get my students to be enthusiastic about history.
These resources: supplies and books will help my students to learn about paper engineering techniques thus sparking an interest in developing STEM capabilities and problem-solving skills. Through this project and inquiry based learning, my students will develop a range of different crafts while also learning about history.
More than half of students from low‑income households
