My Students

Our elementary school students are smart, funny and creative. They love hands-on learning that engages the heart and the mind. In science, they enjoy STEAM activities that include science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics. They also love opportunities to collaborate and share ideas. My goal as the STEAM lab educator is to develop creativity, innovation, and critical thinking skills in every student. Through an integrated STEAM curriculum, our students will learn the skills they need to become innovators and future changemakers. Please consider donating to our elementary school science program.

My Project

Our students learn through their questions and curiosity, they learn from trial and error and most of all they learn by doing. This project will provide more than 300 students a kit filled with simple items they can use to design a pirate ship, construct balloon cars, build 3D figures, and test paper airplanes. Through this project, every student will have the opportunity to learn at-home by creating, designing, and investigating concepts related to science, technology, engineering, art, and math. The resources will provide more than science learning, it will give our students the materials to learn from home over the summer months.
