Kindergartener's Build Their Dreams—One STEM Bin at a Time

Help me give my students STEM materials to build, create, and explore.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sanders's classroom raised $496

This project is fully funded

My Project

My kindergarteners are curious, creative, and full of questions. They love to explore, build, and figure out how things work. Many of them have never had the chance to use hands-on STEM materials before. I want to give them experiences that will spark their imaginations and help them see themselves as future scientists, engineers, and problem-solvers. With your help, STEM bins will give them the opportunity to turn their big imaginations into even bigger possibilities.

I am requesting STEM bins—kits filled with building materials, puzzles, and creative challenges.

These bins will give my students the chance to use their hands and minds together, improving their hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and critical thinking. When they build bridges, design towers, or solve a challenge, they are also building perseverance, confidence, and a love for learning.

Kindergarten is the perfect time to nurture creativity and problem-solving. These experiences will help my students dream big—whether they become engineers, doctors, inventors, or anything they imagine. With your support, you can help open a world of possibilities for them.
