My Project

Students love working with their hands. The STEM and building toys that I'm asking for will help the students think outside the box. Having students think for themselves is a wonderful way for them to learn.

With these STEAM manipulatives, the students will never feel like a failure.

No matter what they build, it will be acceptable, there's no right or wrong. Just thinking outside the box is enough. Students’ self esteem will become self fulfilling for them to continue to want to learn. It's just like letting it steam for 30 more minutes, the learning will continue.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
