My Project

I got some KEVA Planks through a previous DonorsChoose project for our learning centers in the library and they have been such a hit with the kids! However, we quickly discovered that we need more.

With Keva Planks, students can participate in fun engineering challenges to create Rube Goldberg style ball-run contraptions, amazing architectural structures, and more!

Building with Keva Planks promotes creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking skills. It has been amazing to watch the kids work together and problem solve as they build. However, when groups of students work on larger, more elaborate creations, they run out of planks. We would love to have more planks so that the students can achieve their building aspirations!
