Engineering Fun with KEVA Planks

Help me give my students KEVA wooden planks so they can build whatever their imagination desires

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Murphy's classroom raised $384

This project is fully funded

My Project

I want to use construction KEVA wooden planks in my classroom so I can repeatedly see my students respond with enthusiasm to the challenges and activities I have presented to them. KEVA planks are a great equalizer in the classroom. Children of varying abilities can find success quickly.

All students seem to think that KEVA planks are “cool.” It also seems to grow up with the children; KEVA activities can be challenging to both a five-year-old and an accomplished architect.

The versatility of KEVA planks makes them an ideal tool for imaginative activities in art and language arts. KEVA planks gently nudge artistic minds toward science and motivates scientific, mathematically minded students to think more artistically.
