Help Us Build and Create

Help me give my students PicassoTiles magnetic building tiles to build and develop STEM skills!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. A's classroom raised $804

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students love to build and create by building magnetic blocks. Many of them are starting to develop STEM skills from visual learning through their strong sense of colors and knowledge of geometrical shapes. With these materials, my students can enhance their numeracy skills by counting the magnetic blocks and encourage their creativity by coming up with architectural designs by building structures right at their fingertips.

My students will have the opportunity to unleash their creativity by constructing and actively participating in a tactile learning experience using these provided PicassoTiles resources.

They will have the chance to alternate roles and share their thoughts and concepts with one another.

Ms. A Shannon Elementary School Grades 3-5
