Exploring STEAM

Help me give my students the perfect pairing kits to teach science, technology, engineering, arts, and math within the classroom!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Melissa Carling's classroom raised $997

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are happy, energetic, kind, lovable children. They each have unique backgrounds and create unity within our classroom. We are like a family away from our home. We have enjoyed learning more about STEAM activities with coding, building, and exploring this year.

We would love to have opportunities to learn and explore the hands on products that help bring to life the contextual learning with books that involve science, technology, engineering, arts, and math.

We would love to have these stem kits to be able to not only apply them into the common core curriculum, but to allow the students to explore on days that we are stuck inside on wintery days. They would love to build, create projects, and explore everything involving stem.
