My Project

We are trying to create functional space by using organizing cabinets to house projects and materials in the classroom, STEM-related activities, and hands-on buildable projects that are attractive for students to learn STEM-related common core standards.

Having access to storage cabinets, STEM pack projects building cars, roller coasters, bottle rockets, magnetic wands, creating their own bouncy ball from scratch, and building their volcano will help students build a connection to STEM PBL projects that are engaging and FUN!

This will allow us to explore the levels of creativity and wonder in the classroom space with students being able to conduct their own STEM projects and build skills in the STEM that expose students to STEM career paths.
