My Project

Thank you for considering a donation to our project. We need some supplies like craft sticks, modeling clay, and balloons to complete our engineering and design classroom and individual projects that align with the fifth grade Next Generation Science Standards.

The students love to design and build.

They get excited when their ideas work the first time, but we are developing perseverance so we can start all over again when the first design fails and we need to go back to the drawing board. This is one of the hardest things to work on with today's culture and the instant gratification we are surrounded by.
