Help me give my students construction STEM toys to enhance their critical thinking skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lu's classroom raised $580

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

As a educator, I believe that providing building and design STEM toys will allow my students to develop critical thinking skills and foster a love for STEM activities at an early age.

This will help to prepare my students for careers in the STEM fields.

We are incredibly grateful for your support in making this project a reality. Your contribution will have a lasting impact on the lives of our students and the future of STEM education. Together, we can inspire young minds to dream big and reach for the stars.

Thank you for being a part of our mission to ignite a passion for STEM in the next generation.
