FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Payne's classroom raised $448

My Project

Students will use these STEM items (magnetic blocks and tiles, LEGO, marble run, etc.) to creatively complete project-based learning opportunities within our classroom. As students work towards moving their thinking from ideas to completion these STEM items will enable them to present a finished product.

Having these tools available to use while creatively thinking and working through project based scenarios will make students' learning more concrete.

The STEM tools will be used for endless learning opportunities throughout our day in all subjects. The gift of having these tools available for each student to use would be a game changer in our classroom.
