Future STEM Leaders

Help me give my students the ability to learn, discover, and explore through play. Students need items like Magnatiles to spark their engineer like brain and foster love for creation, problem solving, mathematics. The list is endless.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The items that I am requesting will make my students think like engineers, mathematicians, the next STEM leaders of our world. In TK, it is crucial to allow the students to explore and create through play and really foster a love for school.

Currently, I rely on Magic Mold and legos to do this.

These items are the peak interest of my students and I see them making all these connections through their exploration with these two materials, but, with these new toys I know that their creativity and love for STEM will increase. I will be able to have STEM driven play centers where students can let their imagination run wild.
