Ms. Malinoski from Hilton Head Island SC is requesting art supplies through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Keva Planks in Stem

Help me give my students keva planks. No glue or connectors, just simple stacking. Children discover the joy of creating original works of art or cleverly designed Rube Goldberg style ball-runs.

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

Keva planks are one of the most wanted materials for a STEM lab. Students are able to use these planks to create simple machines, robot mazes for coding, geometric towers, architecture designs such as bridges and houses. It's inclusive for kids with disabilities. Everyone gets in on the fun and learning.

KEVA planks are a great resource to have in the classroom for team-building activities.

While working together on creative and challenging assignments, students will learn cooperation and communication skills. KEVA challenges can be used to boost self-confidence as well.
