My Project

Fifth graders LOVE STEM projects! I am requesting some amazing STEM kits that will engage and empower my students.

Students will get some hands-on experience with coding and engineering with these amazing STEM kits.

They will learn some coding with the Sphero balls. (The teacher next door to me has been using these, and her students love them!) The marble maze will help reinforce the concept of gravity and let students practice engineering. They will experience more engineering practice with solar cars and the graffiti robots.

Hands-on science and engineering are what truly engage students. Thanks for helping my students have some amazing projects to look forward to!
