Help me give my students some great STEM tools to engage their engineering minds that are full of creativity and excitement! Zoob has great materials to challenge my learners and help them use critical thinking skills.
My first grade students are eager learners who are ready to explore and create and are excited to learn! They are excited about school and love to be able to learn while using their critical thinking skills.
They have grown up in a technologically savvy world and are ready to embrace the changes and challenges that technology brings.
I love how we can incorporate technology into our reading and math daily lessons, not overusing one but combining them all together to give the students the best opportunity while engaging them in learning. When I can combine art and technology I am really on cloud nine, as are my students!
I also love how creative first grade minds are and I want to encourage my students to stay creative and continue to think outside of the box. I believe this will aid them as they grow and learn throughout their educational lives. I try to incorporate many STEM/STEAM activities throughout the month and I am always amazed at the thinking, the collaborating and the creativity that they come up with when there are criteria they need to meet but no directions on how they have to meet it.
My Project
Hands-on learning with Zoob and hands-on fun help students create, learn, think critically and problem solve while working together and developing the 4Cs. Zoob Builders are a great hands-on system for getting students involved and excited to create, think and engineer.
Having materials the students can manipulate, move and take apart allow for great STEM activities and challenges in the classroom.
My students have loved building with these I just don't have enough to go around and it would be great to allow for all kids to get to build.
