Engaging Engineering Kits For 5th Graders!

Help me give my students the materials they need to flex their engineering skills!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Thompson's classroom raised $600

My Project

I'm heading into my 9th year of teaching science. One of my favorite parts of science instruction is pushing scholars to work cooperatively and think outside the box to solve problems. With that being said, I always look forward to our engineering unit!

Post-testing season is always my favorite time of year!

It is during this time that my scholars and I can dig deeper into all of the fun engineering projects that unfortunately tend to get pushed aside due to time constraints prior to testing.

So many supplies get used during our engineering projects, and many of them are perishable. At the end of this school year, I'm going to need to replenish these perishable materials to prepare for next year!
