Growing Minds Through STEM

My Project

These materials will help my Developmental Three Year Olds become critical thinkers by giving them opportunities to use Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). My students are very curious and excited to learn new things and the BEST way to grow these skills is through hands on materials. At this age, these amazing students are like sponges and will soak up these activities for hours of learning fun!

Using STEM with preschoolers is a crucial part of facilitating foundational skills and a love of learning!

Please help give these students what they need and deserve through the wonders of STEM.
