Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My goal as a teacher is to create an engaging learning environment and with a TeacherGeek Ultimate STEAM Maker Activity Cart, I believe I will be able to! This cart can help make our classroom into a true STEAM Classroom and will help get the students' creative juices flowing!

Our school is a newly Title I school, but we still do not have the funding to create the STEAM lab that we want.

With this donation, we will be able to move in the direction we are wanting to go.

Our students are hard working, sweet kiddos who deserve the best! I am hoping that with the TeacherGeek Ultimate STEAM Maker Activity Cart, my students will be able to take Engineering to the next level in our STEAM classroom. Students will enjoy an A+ assortment of STEM (and Art) on a cart! This "workshop on wheels" Ultimate Maker Space set from TeacherGeek is packed with bins of over 17,000 components/tools and over 40 STEM projects for Grades K to 5 to design, build, and test out their very own STEAM-savvy inventions. Items on this cart can be configured to create functional aids from an electromagnet crane and wind-powered racer to electronic circuits and everything in between. The cart is NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards) aligned with a full kit/materials aligned to National and State curriculum standards by grade level and subject matter.
