Help Us Create a More Hands-On Classroom!

Help me give my students a more engaging and hands-on learning environment! I would love to provide each child with individual clipboards, Play-Doh, and whiteboard clipboards—simple but powerful tools that encourage creativity, independence, and active learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Minor's classroom raised $307

My Project

With your help, I would love to provide each student with their own clipboard, Play-Doh, and a whiteboard clipboard for each block. These may seem like simple materials, but in our classroom and lab, they serve a much bigger purpose. These tools promote independence, keep students actively engaged, and give them the freedom to brainstorm, experiment, and reflect—all while having fun.

Clipboards allow us to take learning anywhere—outside, around the room, or into our lab stations.

Whiteboard clipboards offer a reusable space for sketching out ideas, solving problems, and recording observations on the go. Play-Doh adds a tactile and creative dimension to our lessons, helping students visualize science and math concepts in a way that makes learning stick.

Our focus is on student-led, hands-on experiences that bring STEM to life. These materials will support science investigations, engineering challenges, design-thinking tasks, and collaborative projects that deepen understanding and spark curiosity. Most importantly, they empower every student to take ownership of their learning.

Your generosity will directly impact each child, giving them the tools they need to explore, discover, and grow in ways that will last far beyond this school year.
