Inspiring Classroom Decor for Future Scientists

Help me give my students a welcoming and beautiful space for middle schoolers to learn.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Thyen's classroom raised $170

My Project

My students are curious, energetic middle schoolers who love hands-on learning and asking big questions. They come from diverse backgrounds and bring unique perspectives to class every day. Many of them face economic challenges, but that doesn’t stop them from dreaming big. They thrive in a classroom that is engaging, welcoming, and full of wonder.

Help me transform our science classroom into a vibrant, inspiring space that sparks curiosity and love or learning in every student.

This project will help turn our science classroom into a place where students feel inspired every time they walk through the door.

I’m seeking visually engaging and educational decor that reinforces key science concepts and celebrates student curiosity. This includes science-themed posters that showcase diverse scientists and inventors as well as punny science quotes to keep the space lighthearted.

These additions will create a dynamic, stimulating learning environment where students feel excited about science every day. With your support, I can create an environment that brings science to life, builds community, and supports students' academic and personal growth.
