My Project

The materials found within this project will enable my students (kindergarten through sixth grade) to become even more creative as innovators, designers, engineers, inventors, and problem solvers.

I intend to use these materials to help my students with specific projects such as:

- mini-golf course constructions

- parachute & egg drop challenges

- creating a safe mailing package for a fragile item (potato chips)

- building models of their dream house, school, playground, etc.

- developing prosthetics for both animals and people

- zip-line flyers, downhill skiers, and racecar driver tracks

- and so much more ....

Any donations will allow me to purchase more resources to support my 600+ kindergarten and first graders at the Phoenixville Area Early Learning Center, as well as the 300 second grade through sixth grade students at Manavon Elementary School during the 2025-2026 school year.
