My Project

I am a new teacher starting with an empty classroom. I would love to have open-ended building blocks for my students to use for various engineering projects. I have used Keva Planks at a previous job, and they have always been a great hit with students of all ages.

I also love the activity cards to help teach the concepts of 2D views of 3D shapes.

This concept was introduced in math class, and I am trying to support learning by connecting our activities to other courses. Students learn best by trying hands-on things, and it's much easier to picture 3D shapes as 2D drawings if they can build them.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
