My Project

My students come from a variety of economic and ethnic backgrounds, but when they enter my science lab all of them show they are special by being scientists. Please help support my students with a variety of cool STEAM materials so they can use their creativity and imagination as they take on the role of being engineers.

My goal for this project is to increase the diversity of STEAM materials in my science lab to help keep my young scientists minds wide open for exploration.

I envision fun STEAM surprise days as an exciting time for everyone to work together to share their design ideas, build, test, and redesign as needed, using the blocks and dominos. I'm looking forward to hearing cheers and positive conversations. I always encourage my students to listen carefully as each scientists has great ideas to share then you could work together to build on ideas and adjust as needed.
