Engineers Need Some Supplies!

Help me give my students some supplies, such as colored pencils, markers, and pencils, for STEM activities!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Leachman's classroom raised $349

My Project

My kids are amazing and use my materials up fast. They are worth it though! I teach the Engineer Design Process in the first part of our class and use the process in our other curriculum.

The materials, such as colored pencils, markers, and pencils, will help us learn, organize and create engineer design challenges for my classroom.

The kids love to have lots of different material to use and I love to see their creativity flow. I encourage creativity along with problem solving and STEM activities. The sky is the limit! How high can they fly.
