Growth Comes From the STEM

Help me give my students STEM toys and a classroom instrument for play time in the classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Jang's classroom raised $377

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are passionate, avid, and hungry learners. They love to read and are constantly asking questions about the world around them. As a teacher, I want to give them the entire world and every chance to feed their growing brains. My students are growing in every way and in order to make sure that they don't stop, I am trying my best to support them every step of the way!

My Project

I am looking for STEM toys and a keyboard piano for my classroom to help stimulate learning and play at the same time. These toys are going to help my students be critical thinkers, builders, and problem solvers. Whenever there is free choice time in our weekly schedule or if there are rainy days, these toys will help to facilitate all of these types of skills. Students can build these skills naturally through play.

They learn social skills, role play, communication, teamwork, empathy, adaptiveness, decision making, and community.

While this is all being built in their brains, they are also roleplaying as engineers, scientists, mathematicians, artists, and architects. These are all jobs that are in high demand and will continue to be in the next generation to come.
