My Students

My students are a creative, ambitious, and an inventive group of learners. They are very excited about science and the opportunities that it provides. They love to explore and engage in hands on projects and activities. STEM/Science involves exploring, planning, experimenting, engagement, and problem solving. It is rewarding to watch my students become critical thinkers and problem solvers.

My students are always excited to spend quality time working on STEM/Science activities.

As a teacher it is great to hear the excitement in my classroom during our STEM time.

My Project

Your donation will help provide additional STEM/Engineering activities for my classroom. Engaging, hands on activities spark creativity in the classroom and provide high interest participation by all.

The cubelets are small robotic building blocks that inspire computer programming and coding.

They also spark curiosity and creativity.

With the STEM marble learning lab students will become engineers using the design process model. Students will discover new resources and collaboratively work together to design and build their creations.

These items will help my students to become critical thinkers and problem solvers. The high interest activities will spark creativity within the classroom and promote teamwork.
