My Project

New space new home for my students. New classroom brings a sense of adventure and a bit scary at the same time. I want my students to be able to come into the new space and see the new items that will help them to explore the word of STEM.

Promote STEM Engagement: I aim to foster a love for STEM subjects among my students by providing them with engaging and interactive learning experiences that spark curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking skills.

Facilitate Hands-On Learning: By equipping the classroom with the necessary tools and resources, I seek to create an environment where students can actively participate in hands-on experimentation, problem-solving, and discovery-based learning.

Support Diverse Learning Needs: I strive to create an inclusive learning environment that caters to the diverse needs and interests of my students, allowing each individual to thrive and reach their full potential in STEM education.

Cultivate a Sense of Adventure and Exploration: With the new space and resources, I aim to cultivate a sense of adventure and excitement for learning within my students, encouraging them to embrace new challenges and opportunities for growth.

Build a Community of Learners: Through collaborative activities, projects, and discussions, I aim to foster a sense of community and teamwork among my students, where they feel supported, respected, and empowered to share their ideas and learn from one another.

My students are special because they bring unique perspectives, talents, and interests to the classroom. They are curious, creative, and eager to explore the world around them. By providing them with the resources and opportunities they need to succeed, I believe they will make meaningful contributions to the field of STEM and beyond.
