Empowering Stem Learning: Marble Run Set for Engaged Classroom Learning

Help me give my students a Marble Run set to enhance STEM activities and hands-on learning in our classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Kuranishi's classroom raised $694

This project is fully funded

My Project

The Marble Run sets will significantly enhance our students' learning by promoting hands-on exploration of STEM concepts such as gravity, momentum, and engineering principles. They will engage in collaborative problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity, all essential skills for their academic and future success.

My goal is to create an interactive and stimulating learning environment where students can actively participate in STEM activities using Marble Run sets.

By integrating these tools into our curriculum, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of STEM subjects and inspire a passion for learning among our students.

My students are uniquely curious and eager to learn. They come from diverse backgrounds and bring a wealth of experiences and perspectives to the classroom. Despite facing various challenges, they demonstrate resilience and a strong desire to excel academically. Providing them with innovative tools like Marble Run sets will not only enrich their educational experience but also empower them to explore and succeed in STEM fields.
