Innovation and Exploration STEM Centers

Help me give my students the opportunity to explore, design, innovate, and create their learning through the lense of STEM and Explorative Learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Henley's classroom raised $738

This project is fully funded

My Project

The Innovation and Exploration Centers project is designed so that students are able to take their learning of STEM-based themes and put them into practice. Students will be challenged to explore, design, test, and redesign or innovate on past experiences.

This project will help students break away from the more traditional classroom setting and allow them to learn on the fly, create, fail, and learn from their creations through exploration of their successes and failures.

These materials like the wooden ramps and planks will help students to actually test and apply the power of force and motion, push and pull, and allow me to challenge them to conquer goals and problems that I provide them.

Many of these materials will help students to simply apply their creative minds and allow them to use the magnets and brain chips to design materials to retell a story or find unique ways to recreate models of animals or building styles.
