My Project

Critical thinking and problem-solving skills are some of the most important skills students can learn. STEM activities will naturally encourage these types of thinking. STEM isn't about fact memorization, it's about learning how to think about complex subjects.

Through a play-based STEM exploration students are encouraged to analyze, make predictions, design, build connections, and solve complex problems.

STEM sets like geoboards, ten frames, balance scales, and magnet movers will help students build their foundational knowledge of STEM concepts. The brain flakes, construction toys, motioneering, and geometric shapes and blocks will encourage students to engineer new creations from their imaginations.

Math and science are often two subjects that students struggle with later in life. This struggle may happen because students haven't built a strong enough foundation in math and science during their early learning years. I hope to encourage this through these STEM sets.
