it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Our students are amazing learners and creative problem-solvers! Every day our students come in excited to find new ways to design and build projects that may have practical applications in their community as they explore through STEAM skills.
Our inquisitive, neurodiverse scholars need student-friendly engineering and science materials that will foster inclusive science skills practice, and engagement in our integrated studies and positive rewards time.
Through this engaging, hands-on approach to learning STEAM skills, our K-2 students will also be exposed to new scientific knowledge while getting excited about science concepts. These science centers and building sets will appeal to so many of our novice learners and help them envision the ways they can be part of the STEAM world. We would love to add these science & engineering kits to our classrooms during our integrated studies and positive rewards time to help make science fun and accessible for all!
