My Project

In today's rapidly evolving world, the demand for individuals skilled in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields continues to grow. At our school we aim to foster these skills from an early age, as a result we have implemented maker time and maker spaces where students can engage in hands-on, project-based learning experiences. However, to fully capitalize on the potential of maker time, it is imperative that I provide my students with adequate STEM materials and resources.

Maker time offers students the opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge in practical settings, fostering creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.

By engaging in projects that involve designing, building, and testing prototypes, students develop a deeper understanding of STEM concepts and their real-world applications. Additionally, maker time encourages collaboration and teamwork, as students often work together to tackle complex challenges and bring their ideas to life.

To address these challenges and maximize the potential of maker time, it is essential to prioritize the provision of more STEM materials and resources in my classroom. By offering students a wide variety of materials, my classroom can cater to the diverse interests and learning styles of their students, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive in maker time.
