My Project

Students come to the Media Center for any number of reasons- to check out a book, research independently, get help with schoolwork, any so much more. Our school's Media Center is blossoming into a learning hub where students can focus and take a break from the classroom when needed.

With the craft supplies and STEAM materials, we can create collaborative STEAM projects and incorporate STEAM projects focused on engineering challenges.

The activities are always popular and a great incentive for students who finish their work early. And the perler beads are a student favorite and are used frequently! The county is building our STEAM area out this summer, we would love to fill it with more supplies!

Grades 6-8
