Hands-on STEAM for 2nd grade!

Help me give my students access to the latest STEM technology! This year my class has experimented with Tinkercad and Code.org. I'd love to put these pens in my students' hands next year and see what they create.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Murphy's classroom raised $1,158

My Project

What is STEM with an A? STEAM! Beyond trying to build designs with Tinkercad, these pens will help my students experiment with 3D drawing and printing.

They are safe for elementary students and I can use these in small group during my science block.

This is an ideal real world tool to introduce students to the collaboration of art, math, and science.

I'm always looking for ways to boost creativity and strengthen my students imaginations through hands-on project base learning.

As an IB PYP teacher, my students could incorporate these tools when working on projects based on the IB framework. My goal is to spark interest in 3D Design!
