Future Engineers

My students need LEGOS, GoldieBlox sets, and trade books to support STEAM learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Godesa's classroom raised $704

My Students

“Every girl deserves to take part in creating the technology that will change our world and change who runs it.” -Malala Yousefzai, co-winner of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize

My first graders attend a Title I school in Oregon, where over 44 languages are spoken.

Our classroom is made up of 21 diverse students, 11 of which are girls. My 11 girls are true inquirers. They love to ask questions, search for answers, and build.

My Project

I am requesting GoldieBlox, LEGOs, and trade books to support the curiosity and STEAM learning of my first graders. The GoldieBlox and LEGOs will allow my students to take their problem-solving and engineering skills to the next level. They will be able to plan and test their designs, work together, learn from their mistakes, and grow as learners. The books that I am requesting provide stories about real-life inquirers and role models.

This project will help support the inquisitiveness of my students, allowing them to grow and develop into lifelong learners, a skill that I want and hope for every child that enters my classroom.
