My Project

Although the COVID-19 pandemic officially ended in 2023, our learners are still affected. The loss of learning that they experienced has created academic, social and emotional gaps that they still grapple with today. However, providing learners with the opportunities to interact with each other through discovery and play will help to close these gaps and instill a curiosity for life long learning. Materials such as the STEM interlocking learning set will encourage learners to engage in collaborative discussions and foster their creativity as they build together. Books such as, “If I Built a House,” and, “The Plan for the Gingerbread House: A STEM Engineering Story,” will seamlessly lead students into the iterative design process that engineers utilize as they plan and construct models with materials such as the Plus Plus Big Open Play Set and the Tomyou interlocking disc sets. Each and every item will help our learners become curious life long learners that will contribute positively to our global society.
