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 Students

My students love using their creative energy to complete challenging, hands-on activities.

Watching the light in their eyes shine brighter with each new bit of learning is truly an awesome experience!

Our school is located in a small southern Mississippi town. The majority of our students do not have the opportunity to participate in educational activities outside of the classroom. We try to bring as many new exciting experiences as possible to them.

We also incorporate a variety of learning strategies, student-centered learning opportunities, small group and individualized instruction, to ensure that the needs of each student are met. I am thankful to have a group of students that are excited about learning!

My Project

The materials I am requesting will be extremely useful in giving my students an opportunity to learn more about engineering by becoming engineers. My students will be able to participate in cleaning up an oil spill with the Oil Spill Kit.

These future engineers will gain valuable skills by completing many STEM challenges.

Through the use of the STEM Building Bricks, these students will be able to complete STEM challenges involving drawbridges, towers, ramps, and solvable mazes.

While creating a volcano, using the SCULPTAMOLD material, these excited engineers will remain spic and span with the help of their disposable aprons!!!
