My Project
I have the privilege of teaching young learners and fostering a love for science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) in our classrooms. As an educator, I am always looking for ways to engage my students in hands-on learning experiences that inspire curiosity and critical thinking.
This year, we are excited to explore the wonders of wind and aerodynamics through interactive STEM lessons.
To bring these concepts to life, we are seeking donations for materials such as kites, toy airplanes, and puppets. These tools will allow our students to experiment with wind forces, design and test their own flying creations, and use storytelling to reinforce their understanding of scientific principles.
Kites and airplanes will provide a dynamic way for students to observe lift, drag, and flight mechanics firsthand. Additionally, puppets will be a creative tool for students to retell and reflect on their STEM learning, strengthening both their comprehension and communication skills. These materials will not only enrich our science curriculum but also help our young learners develop problem-solving abilities and a deeper appreciation for the world around them.
We would be incredibly grateful for any support you can provide to help make this learning experience possible.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
