Creativity and Problem Solving Through STEM

Help me give my students the materials to express their creativity and practice their problem solving skills.

Ms. Hann Ascent Academy Utah - Farmington
Farmington, UT Grades 3-5

My Students

My students are amazing and full of life. They love to come to school and we are building a feeling of community in our classroom. The one thing I have noticed from the COVID-19 impact is a decrease in social skills, creativity and problem solving. At the beginning of the year, they struggled with learning how to get along and consider each other's feelings. They also struggled to be able to work through problems with each other.

My students love to ask questions and crave hands-on learning.

They want a chance to learn to work together and learn from each other. Indoor recess is a reward to them as they get to play games with each other and electronics are not allowed. They have progressed a lot this year with learning how to take turns, work through disagreements, and becoming more independent. They love to build and make things and are learning to take that to the next step and problem solve through failure and success.

My Project

All of these materials will be used to enhance my students creativity and thinking skills. During the COVID-19 soft closures, a lot of my students are at home playing video games or watching Youtube. Many of them also do not know how to interact with others in a positive way. These materials will help them realize that learning and exploring can be fun and they do not need to be "entertained" by fast-paced games and videos. Some of my students struggle behaviorally in the classroom due to academic struggles or emotion well being. These materials would also allow them a time to focus on something other than what is going on in their minds and the struggles they are feeling, yet at the same time be learning about balance, proportion, symmetry, engineering, etc.

My students will have a chance to explore these STEM materials and use team work while also hopefully finding their inner creative self.

Whether it is with by themselves, a partner, or group, they will play and not realize they are learning at the same time. I want to give my students a chance to problem solve, practice teamwork, and recognize that in order to succeed you have to also fail. It is so important to learn that failure is a part of learning and to keep trying to find the solution as they build different things and to not give up. To others, this is a time to feel successful as they might struggle with writing, reading or math, but with these hands on activities they feel empowered and develop confidence in themselves. The products I have selected will bring learning through play into my classroom and add so much excitement for my students!
